On Ask Win today (Tuesday, May 7, 2019), Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Tomeka M. Winborne. Tomeka is a writer/director that passionately loves to create stories that will invoke conversations. “My mission as an African American female filmmaker is to bring stories to the screen that embody the experiences and voices of people of color that are devoid in television and film,” says Tomeka. In 2005, Tomeka published her first novel, "Where My Strength Comes From." She later desired to see that novel on the screen. Initially, she planned to go to film school but it was too expensive. So she started volunteering on other people's film projects. In 2009, she wrote, directed her first short film, "PASS ME BY." A few years, later she wrote, directed and produced her second short, "TOO LATE." From there she continued to write, produce and direct other short films. As a filmmaker, Tomeka centers many of her stories around social issues. Her most recent short film that is in post production is entitled, “WE’RE LEFT BEHIND.” With this film she hopes to inspire people to think about the children who are left behind when their parents are deported. The movie doesn’t give solutions but she hopes it will bring about empathy to this tragic situation. Tomeka’s short film “AGED OUT” was screened at the “CineOdyssey Film Festival” and the “BronzeLens Film Festival.” She has also screened “AGED OUT” as a fundraiser for Becoming Families, a foster care nonprofit. In October, the Newport News Department of Social Services will screen AGED OUT at their “AGED OUT: Who’s Got Your Back?” foster care awareness event. Tomeka produced and host a podcast, “TEA TALKS WITH TOMEKA.” “TEA TALKS WITH TOMEKA is a podcast about women filmmakers, their journeys and their projects.” says Tomeka. She also host a podcast, “JARO Podcast” for Jaro Media. I speak with artist from all mediums from the Black Diaspora. She enjoys using various mediums to tell stories. In addition to making movies and podcasts, she’s also produced television segments, commercials, wrote a couple of novels, worked as a field reporter and has been commissioned to produce documentaries. Tomeka is a founding member and on the leadership committee of the ALLIANCE OF WOMEN DIRECTORS - Atlanta Branch . Previously, Tomeka served as board member on the Hampton .To learn more about Tomekaia visit www.tomekawinborne.com.
