Exclusive: The Gotham Film & Media Institute and So’B Productions have set the participants and mentors for the inaugural edition of the Gotham Edu Executive Leadership Program.
The new initiative is designed to help undergrad students of color, who identify as women or nonbinary, advance to careers in communications, marketing, and development within the film and media industry. It’s funded with support from So’B Productions — the production company of award-winning journalist, documentarian and producer Soledad O’Brien.
The students named to the program’s first cohort are Ashleigh Brabham (Winston Salem State University), Neema Griffin (Spelman College) and Madysen Scott (Hampton University). They were selected from a pool of 28 students, repping 13 colleges and universities. Senior industry execs who will serve as mentors to the trio are Neon/Super’s Darcy Heusel, Netflix’s Nyle Washington and Firelight Media’s Chloë Walters-Wallace.
