Lessons Learned from 2020 with a Special Panel of Artists, Actors, and Advocates
When we chose November 7, 2020 as the date to have this panel discussion, Lessons Learned, I knew we would be post-election and that it would inform a conversation with fellow Women of Color. What I did not anticipate is that just a few hours before recording, we would find out that we would be living through the knowledge that the First Woman of Color would be named to Vice President-elect.
With a global pandemic, massive changes in the dialogue around race and equality, and industry on the verge of collapse, 2020 brought many painful inflection points for many. For Bryetta Calloway, Actress, Singer, Producer, and Storyteller, it also gave birth to a podcast, I've Been Thinking..., that would be a place of painful, fun, cathartic, and necessary conversations. With these conversations spanning issues such as arts and advocacy, diversity in theatre and Hollywood, and how to navigate an ever-shifting global economy, she has built a tribe of amazing Black and Brown voices that are engaging, exciting, and empowering. With less than two months left in what is a historically painful year, she is bringing together a group of Black and Brown women who have challenged her, inspired her, and encouraged her. This FREE event is a must-attend for anyone looking to attach language to the lessons this year has brought and, more importantly, to share how these lessons, painful, powerful, and positive, will inform the way we show up in 2021.
