Description

Black 'N Animated is an organization that is focused on the empowerment of Black students and professionals in the animation industry. But before that, it was simply a podcast crated by Breana Williams and Waymond Singleton. On top of all the information revolving around BNA, we are also able to touch on Bre's own journey, and her aspirations to move from Production to Storyboarding. We talk about the auspicious meeting that made the podcast a reality, and how it was sparked by the anxiety that both Bre and Way felt as students not knowing about Black folks currently working in animation. We discuss some of the challenges BNA has faced, how preparedness has benefitted their membership, and also the victories and lessons from those tough times. Listen in, and support both the BNA podcast and their organization as they work to create diversity on screen and behind the scenes!
