What if you were raised by a village of strong Black women at time when folks wore Free Huey and Free Angela t-shirts in a place that was known world-wide for it’s activism?
Bridgid Coulter Cheadle, grew up in Oakland and moved to Los Angeles where she pursued her first love, acting, before going back to school in order to pursue her second love, design.
So what would you do if you if as an adult, your design business was flourishing, you were a Tony-award-winning producer, and you were married to an Avenger. But when you walked into a workspace looking for faces like the ones in that village you grew up with, you found that you were the only one in the room? Would you move back to a place where you knew you belonged? Or would you create a gathering space for women of color and allies alike?
