The weekly podcast Media & Monuments features conversations with industry professionals speaking on a wide range of topics of interest to our region’s media makers.

As a long-time journalist, I had always appreciated the support and networking that Women in Film & Video of Washington, DC provided.

I am proud to be a member of this organization and will continue to support their mission for years to come.
