From immigrant kid, with a love of movies, to media entrepreneur, with a deep connection to the hip-hop community, Sanjay Sharma's professional journey has taken him across the American legal, tech and media landscapes. Carla welcomes him, on this first episode of a new season of Access & Opportunity focused on innovators working for equity in the media and entertainment industries.

Now the Founder and CEO of Marginal Mediaworks, a media brand that’s all about genre storytelling from marginalized voices, Sharma’s perspectives are both familiar and radical. A serial entrepreneur, he has launched seminal ventures, including Machinima and ALL DEF Media, tuned in to underserved communities far from mainstream representation. In this episode, Sharma takes us through his eclectic journey from lawyer to screenwriter to CEO, and how he continues to advocate for the unheard stories in the margins. Come on and join us for the ride.
