00:00Hair Tales is a show that I'm so immensely proud of. It is one that was a personal passion project
00:07of mine. And to me, it really speaks to the ethos of Onyx Collective because we really want to have
00:12content that really is reflective of Black women, our experience, and feels like it's speaking
00:19directly to that audience. And to me, that show really encapsulates that. The same thing with
00:241619. I mean, Nicole Hannah-Jones is such a force. And so for us to be able to get behind the true
00:32top-notch journalism that the New York Times was able to put forth in that project and give it
00:37New Life as a docuseries just really amplified what we're trying to do at Onyx.
00:43The feedback that I've received has been resoundingly positive. I mean, to build a brand
00:50from scratch takes so much work. And we are truly only as good as our partners. And so there's just
00:56been so much support and really people understanding the vision and the significance of us building a
01:03new brand for Disney at this moment in time. And what I really love is everyone really sees the
01:08ambition of it. And so, you know, we are just continuing to plow ahead and make sure that we're
01:13delivering on the the support that we've received. Who's in the Room was a mentorship program that I
01:21founded with a group of other executive friends. It was really before I started the job at Disney,
01:28really looking to fortify our pipeline of executives with more executives of color. And so we really were
01:36focused on assistants or people who have a couple of years experience and giving them opportunities to
01:43be promoted so that we would have more senior executives, more representation amongst senior executives.
