S1 Ep14: Finding Authenticity as Black Women in Media with Sharon Reed and Ann Hill Bond
What does it mean to be full and comfortable with being yourself within the constraints of the mainstream media industry? Sharron Reed and Ann Hill Bond join us today to discuss how Black women in media can make their mark while finding joy and authenticity.
Sharon Reed is a news anchor in major markets, such as Atlanta and Cleveland. She’s worked on National Television as a correspondent and morning host. Ann Hill Bond has been a journalist for the past 6 years, a mother to 3 children, and someone with a strong footing in the historian and preservation world. They joined the Monuments to Me podcast to chat all about being Black women who have made their mark in both the journalism and media fields.
We discuss the sustainability of Black Press and Black News, the difference in experience between print and being an anchor on air, and how to get power back when it comes to owning your own voice within the constraints of mainstream media. Together, we touch on the idea of entrepreneurship and how Black women are creating their own opportunities and so much more.
Tune in to this episode and get ready to be inspired by Sharon and Ann.
