Over the course of three decades, this media mogul helped launch the careers of several artists and has left an undeniable imprint on the genre of unscripted television.

00:00So how do you feel about the representation of Black women in hip-hop today?
00:03I mean, I think they're killing it, right?
00:05If you look at it, they're stronger than ever.
00:07There's so much camaraderie going on right now.
00:11Glorilla brought Scarlet out on stage.
00:14You know, Missy has been a champion, you know, for female artists.
00:18So we're seeing this group of empowered women out there making music, I think, in numbers that we haven't seen in a very long time.
00:26So I actually want to talk about your transition into film.
00:31You've done so much in the television realm.
00:34How do you feel?
00:36Like, are you excited?
00:37Is there pressure?
00:38Is it anticipation?
00:40How do you feel about this new endeavor?
00:42It's so funny because I made this kind of conscious decision to focus on expanding on our scripted content.
00:49We put out a movie with BET Plus called B-Boy Blues.
00:55That was kind of our first official, you know, project.
00:58And then we developed this project for a number of years with Swirl Films and with BET.
01:04And this is what I hope will be a series under the Love and Murder banner.
01:09I've got another project that, you know, we are in post-production finishing stage with Jussie Smollett, Supermassive Media.
01:18And Tressa, you know, who has a company called Megamind, we are putting together this project.
01:24So it's an exciting time.
01:26It's an opportunity to, you know, do something that is going to expand not only my business, but like I said before, what I want to do personally.
01:34But of course, did it right as, you know, the strike happened.
01:39So it slowed down our efforts, mainly because we, you know, wanted to stand in solidarity with the writers and the actors.
01:46And so we've kind of halted our development.
01:50But I'm excited to get the wheels turning again and look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to make an impact in the scripted space like I was able to do in music and in television.
02:02Peace.
