Centering Women of Color In Film with B.Monét

Published: Sept. 16, 2020, noon

It was a thrill and an honor to talk with B. Monét, Director this week! In her films, B.Monét poses questions about identity, society, race, and culture. It is vital to her that under-represented people are shown in film, media, and television.
 
In this episode, we are talking about her most recent film, Ballet After Dark, which is a pure joy to watch. It is a magnificent celebration of the freedom from pain that dance can give. Last week I talked with the amazing Tyde-Courtney Edwards, whom this film is centered around. B.Monet was selected as one of the winners for the Queen Collective in partnership with Queen Latifah, Tribeca and P&G for Ballet After Dark.
 
B.Monet is a writer/director, a graduate of Spelman College, and holds an MFA from New York University in Film and Television with a concentration in writing and directing. 
 
Watch Ballet After Dark is now streaming on Amazon Prime and Hulu.
