Discover Networking Opportunities with Industry Professionals

A key element of the Entertainment Networking Directory services is to further the entertainment industry’s commitment to increasing exposure and hiring women of color, as well as to explore new business opportunities for other women created by industry changes brought on by the pandemic.

NEW-WBC-WIE will soon offer participants opportunities to create their own low-cost content as industry calling cards by providing a “green screen” production space, including industry-quality filming, sound and editing equipment, as well as another space devoted to recording podcasts.
