In this weeks episode of #theundunnpodcast we are joined by the beautiful @olivia_charmaine TV/Film Exec, Founder & CEO of #blackmonarchentertainment and
Host of #thetea, a weekly digital IGTV series.
After receiving her BFA in Film & TV Production from Tisch, Olivia began her career specializing in comedy development on the business side of children’s animated television.
In her role before joining Simpson Street as the Senior Director of Development & Production, she was a development executive of Original Scripted Programming at TBS (WarnerMedia). There, she strategized as to what’s next, delivered what's new, and pulled in fresh talent while also managing and maintaining current shows, such as "The Last OG" starring Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish.
In the summer of 2020, Olivia left Simpson Street to create her own production company, Black Monarch Entertainment. Olivia believes that media should be as empowering as it is entertaining, and has gained a creative edge by highlighting “media with a message.” She’s committed to elevating diverse stories in all of her artistic endeavors, and has proven that no voice is too small.
We break down many things, such as navigating a career in the entertainment industry, cultivating relationships, being intentional and taking up space when you are in rooms, being Black, Female and Queer in the industry, her coming out story, upcoming projects and much more.
