LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Today’s guest is a filmmaker, digital content creator, and branding expert, who serves as an advocate for Black women’s accurate representation in the media. With over a decade of experience, she’s gained valuable insight into Black women entrepreneur’s narratives — a passion that she channeled into her cinematic debut. Renae Bluitt is the executive producer and creative director of “She Did That”— a documentary that explores the passionate pursuits of Black women and their journeys as entrepreneurs.

The film offers an intimate peek inside the truths, trials, and triumphs of Black women building brands and their legacies. She Did That premiered at the ESSENCE Music Festival and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Renae sought to spotlight the drive that Black women use to turn their obstacles into opportunities and passions into profit. Now, with her podcast of the same name, Renae continues to inspire the next generation of change agents with the stories of inspiring women.

On this episode of Workparty I’m so excited to chat with Renae about her experience as a filmmaker, entrepreneurship and the funding gap for women of color, and her tried and true strategy to overcome fear.
