Trailblazer Studios SVP of Development Ashleigh DiTonto joins me to discuss the company's TWO powerful documentaries about the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. DiTonto serves as executive producer on both projects and we chat about how each came about, why they are different, and why it's so important to tell these stories. You can watch "Rise Again: Tulsa and the Reds Summer," directed by Dawn Porter, on Nat Geo and Hulu. Additionally, "The Legacy of Black Wall Street" is directed by Deborah Riley Draper as a 2-part doc for OWN and is streaming now on Discovery +. 🎥

Ashleigh and I also talk about how Trailblazer, which is based in North Carolina, stays competitive with bigger production companies in LA and NY. And as a bonus, she describes how she went from working behind the scenes in porn (yes, seriously) to working at a network to developing reality TV & game shows to producing premium docs. This is a good story, trust me. 👍
