MRM InTheBlk
From the beginning, I co-led InTheBlk as an equal partner, and I carried a significant share of the work at every stage. I helped name the group, built its brand and visual identity, and shaped the look and feel of everything we put into the world.
When the idea for our video came together, I helped develop the concept and pitched it first to my colleagues, then to the Executive Leadership Team, advocating for the resources to bring it to life. The team and I wrote a full video treatment, pushing for an authentic, documentary-style approach so the story would feel genuine and unfiltered.
My leadership went well beyond the video. I represented InTheBlk in executive meetings, developed and presented our annual budget proposals to the CFO, wrote an extensive Learning and Development plan, and hosted our group meetings to keep the work moving and our members engaged. Most importantly, I’ve worked to create space for Black women in our workplace to lead, connect, and be seen.
Our mission is to attract and retain more Black professionals in our industry, and I’ve driven that vision from day one.
Produced by Woodward Original, the award-winning piece is one expression of a larger mission: proof that representation and creative excellence go hand in hand.
