Get ready to be inspired by Dr. Jimmeka Anderson, a visionary educator from Charlotte, North Carolina. Her passion for film and education to build a path for young Black girls in the media industry is nothing short of astounding. Specializing in critical digital media literacies, Dr. Anderson shares her journey into media literacy, pursuing a Ph.D. in Urban Education and creating a groundbreaking initiative, the Black Girls Film Camp.
Navigating the rigorous world of a Ph.D. program is not for the faint-hearted. Hear about Dr. Anderson's struggles and victories, how she maintained her authenticity, and how she tackled the well-known imposter syndrome. Learn from her experience on how she mastered the art of trusting her own expertise and standing her ground in an academic setting that often leans towards publicly accessible data.
We take you through the incredible journey of the Black Girls Film Camp. Dr. Anderson designed this program to empower girls aged 13 to 18, providing them with adequate resources to transform a story concept into a short film. They get to tour studios like ARRAY Creative Campus and Walt Disney Studios and get to see their work premiered at renowned film festivals. Lastly, we address the profound impact of media on mental health and the vital role of media literacy education. So, tune in as we share Dr. Anderson's advice for Black women and non-binary doctoral students about staying true to their paths.
