A Conversation with Toneka Wright
Controlling the narrative was one of the biggest reasons we started Hear 2 Help You was to control our narrative. It allows us to offer solutions that plague our community through the guests that share their stories with us. Today’s show, does just that.
Hear 2 Help You would like to introduce, Toneka Wright.
Toneka is an award winning filmmaker and owner of Black Filmmakers Academy, an online platform providing courses, workshops, and summits in various areas of filmmakers. The brainchild of this multi-faceted visionary exists for one simple reason; to help Black filmmakers learn the art, craft, and business side of making, distributing, and marketing cinematic masterpieces.
With this in mind, Toneka has made it her mission to change the way people of color are viewed in film. By creating platforms for movies told from the Black perspective and voice. Toneka falls very much in line with the vision of Carib101 Media Group.
She believes that when we see more positive images of people of color in media, we will see massive changes for the better in the community.
Sit back and enjoy our conversation with the talented Toneka Wright, as speaks to us about how she made the transition from engineer to filmmaker, while maxing out credit cards along the way.
Note: You would have to watch the show to understand that last part.
