The Resource Guild ignited 2024 with the inaugural Black Media Mixer ATL on January 30th, held at The Union Fit Hub in Atlanta. The event was created to bring more unity amongst black media and served as a vibrant convergence of black journalists, TV and radio personalities, and PR professionals. It was a platform for fostering connections, engaging in insightful discussions, and exploring the triumphs and trials within the black media and entertainment sphere. The evening, hosted by Lex The Visionary (Executive Liaison at The Resource Guild, Music Artist and Owner of Baddie Visuals) began with attendees networking amidst a diverse group of media and creative professionals. The Vegan Momiana sponsored a delectable vegan taco spread, while Greenwood Whiskey added a touch of sophistication with a sponsored tasting session.
The centerpiece of the event was the “State of Black Media” panel discussion on media and entertainment. Guided by the at times mischievous but at all times astute moderation of Mr. Daniel Dickey (The Renaissance Man, Founder of The Resource Guild/Black Media Mixer ATL), the conversation was enriched by the perspectives of panelists Olivia LaBorde (Field Producer- CNN, Cooking Show Host- FoodyTV), Big Ray Vangroove (Nationally Syndicated Radio Personality – Majic 107.5/97.5 & Ryan Cameron Uncensored), Jai Majeed (Promotions Coordinator – Audacy Inc.), Danie B (Midday Host and Digital Coordinator – V-103), and Kenny V (Owner and Creative Director – iDaydream Studios, International Recording Artist). All of the panelists shared their experiences and offered invaluable industry insights and tips. Overall, The Black Media Mixer ATL left attendees enriched with knowledge, inspiration, and fortified with better tools to navigate their paths in the media and entertainment industry.
