About Company
We are Media Girlfriends, a Black-led company focused on promoting a diversity of perspectives in media.
Media Girlfriends started in 2016 as a podcast created by Nana aba Duncan. The hashtag #MediaGirlfriends has grown to include peer mentorship and the production of networking and skill building events.
