Gen YBH Women’s History Month Spotlight: RENEE HARRISON
“Black women have always been the architects of culture—shaping communities, and movements often without recognition or ownership we deserved. My hope is to contribute by expanding the rooms where our stories are imagined and preserved.
If I do my work well, the legacy won’t be the roles I’ve played. It will be the communities built, the archives created, and the doors that remain open long after I’ve walked through them.”
Gen YBH Women’s History Month Spotlight: HEATHER HARRIS
“Growing up, I was often told I was too much, too dark, or that I didn’t fit the “ideal” mold. Because of that, I hope little Black girls who watch my journey know that they dont have to shrink to be chosen. They don’t have to be a certain “type” of Black girl to succeed in this industry. Even when the road is difficult, it is not impossible. And when you can’t find a lane that was made with you in mind, God has a way of making room for exactly who you are.”

“I want everyone I work with to feel empowered in who they are and what they have to offer.
Our art is amazing because we are behind it.”
Gen YBH Women’s History Month Spotlight: JOY SUNDAY
“I’m working to bolster solidarity and community on set. We all work stronger together and Black women benefit when everyone works as a collective to get what we deserve. Too often our experiences on set are an island and we feel isolated when nobody feels emboldened to speak. Too often we are ostracized for knowing what we’re worth and asking for it. It’s time we be fairly treated and compensated alongside our peers, and I hope to be a shining example of that principle for young darkskinned Black girls, so they know that they -will- enjoy the same.”
Gen YBH Women’s History Month Spotlight: KACI WALFALL
“I hope to contribute by creating meaningful opportunities for Black women to shine. Through the characters I play and write, I hope to bridge the gap between tokenism and normalization for Black women in entertainment. I strive to be a beacon of possibility showing what it means to unapologetically believe
in yourself.”
gen v is a good use case for why more shows should take place on college campuses. very dramatic plotlines with believable mistakes bc they’re college students and therefore all idiots
