    Ally2Action Episode 5: Carri Twigg

    Episode 5 is a treat. We welcome Carri Twigg, co-founder of Culture House Media and former Special Assistant to President Obama and Director of Public Engagement for Vice President Joe Biden. Carri's experience in the spaces of American and cultural identity are vast and we are lucky to count her as the founding A2A scholar/expert. We sat down and discussed many things, including her origin story as a bi-racial girl growing up in rural Ohio, her articulation of an America that isn't zero sum and how important it is to read, learn, and tell stories that shift/shape culture. Her thoughts and ideas are a fundementally different approach to parity and progress. We're thankful she stopped by to share her insight and incredible mind with us.   Carri is deeply engaged with content that takes on the urgent cultural questions confronting America and the world.  After 10 years in politics, she is focused on challenging our status quo media narratives. She is a Co-Founder and Head of Development for Culture House media, a Black, Brown, Women owned full service premium film and TV production company. Carri also leads Culture House's consultancy work, collaborating with major studios and creatives to ensure their projects are culturally productive.

    This week we are joined by Lew Shomer, the CEO of Shomex Productions - the nation's largest producer of Diversity and Disability Career Fairs. His career and life is truly one of allyship backed by action. It was an honor to sit and talk to him about his 15+ years on the board of NAACP, his continued fight for equity and awareness and why he feels the word "inclusive" shouldn't be used. Our minds expanded and our hearts warmed during this hour, and we know yours will be too.

    Ally2Action Episode 2: Yolanda Ross

    Recorded in July 2021   Yolonda Ross is an actor and producer who plays the character ‘Jada Washington’ in the hit series “The Chi”. She delivers a powerful performance as her character goes through a Cancer-journey storyline, where Yolonda has to shave her own head in real life for it to embody the chemotherapy her character is going through. Matt Coulter and Yolonda discuss many aspects of her preparation for the show, and about how Yolonda also continues to work with "Coils To Locs" http://coilstolocs.com; a black female owned business that makes wigs with and while folks lose their hair - due to the lack of access textured natural wigs. You may be surprised to know that wigs for women with textured hair are not already offered as an alternative in every hospital in this country. We dive into this and the reality of the disparities in healthcare and its extensions of care for people of color. We are so grateful for her joining us to shed a light on this through the role she portrays in ‘Jada Washington’.
