Little Black Girl From The Bay

Our Mission

At Little Black Girl From The Bay Productions, we produce bold, narrative-driven films that honor the complexity of Black womanhood. We challenge tokenizing stereotypes by creating authentic stories and supporting artists reclaiming their narratives. Through our filmmaking, we broaden cultural representation and enrich the storytelling landscape.

Our Vision

To redefine the cultural landscape by expanding and re-imagining representations of Black womanhood through bold, cinematic storytelling—liberating the "Strong Black Woman" narrative and empowering artists to reclaim their stories and reshape the canon for generations to come.

Our Mentorship Initiative

“Lifting as we climb,” the motto of Mary McLeod Bethune, guide our approach to mentorship and collaboration. At Little Black Girl From The Bay Productions, we are committed to creating paid, on-set opportunities for women, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people of color. Our productions are designed to create meaningful entry points into professional filmmaking environments.

Through our inaugural partnership with Made In Her Image, a non-profit dedicated to increasing equity and representation within film, media, and technology, this initiative creates pathways into the industry through mentorship, professional development, and hands-on production experience.

During the productions of Brief Exchanges, 80% of our department heads were women, reflecting our intentional approach to leadership and representation.
