S1 Ep16: REVOLT is Intentionally Elevating Black Women with Monique Chenault
Today, as we close out season 1, we bring the Monuments to Me podcast back home as we talk about how black women are winning and the huge role REVOLT plays in this space. We are joined by Monique Chenault, president of REVOLT News at REVOLT Media & TV (a cable network owned by Diddy which specializes in creating and cultivating programming for Black audiences), Head of REVOLT Studios, Atlanta, and creator of REVOLT’s series, “Black Girl Stuff”. A UCLA grad who started in local news, her journey as a writer and executive producer has led her to become a non-fiction programming specialist with 25 years of industry experience and four Emmy nominations.
In this episode, we discuss how Black women are having an extraordinary renaissance right now after being in the background for so long. We discuss how REVOLT News intentionally elevates, recognizes, and puts Black women and their stories at the forefront. We also explore the importance of Black people having their own media outlets to uplift our stories.
Join us for this discussion about the significant role of diverse non-fiction media in Black communities and how it is helping Black women win by ensuring they are represented and allowing them to be their real selves.
