- In 1973, Eunice Johnson, the founder of Ebony and Jet, noticed a problem: Black women had to mix their own foundation in order to find a color that matched their skin. To tackle the problem, Johnson launched Fashion Fair, the first national cosmetics company that focused entirely on Black women. The brand triggered a renaissance in style among Black women and the global cosmetics industry took notice. Now, Fashion Fair is staging its comeback as a Black-owned business in a new era defined by massive cultural shifts and increased competition. This film follows current Fashion Fair CEO Desiree Rogers and President Cheryl Mayberry McKissack as they chart a path as Black women entrepreneurs at the helm of a revived, iconic brand.
- Directed by Academy Award winner, Rayka Zehtabchi, A Woman's Place is a short documentary film that captures the stories of three chefs, their careers, and their shared experience as women in the culinary industry facing and overcoming institutionalized sexism. As each address the bias, the harassment, the comments they've had to endure, we see how each chef has carved out a place for themselves in the industry - not as a female chef, but as a restaurateur, a chef de cuisine, and a butcher respectively. A Woman's Place is a film about the power of playing by your own rules even when the game is stacked against you.
