KEYNOTE TOPICS

Drawing from her upcoming book “Step Into Your BadAss Shoes,” Yvonne  shares valuable lessons on how stepping into the spotlight and promoting your personal brand is not just about self-promotion; it’s about empowerment and creating opportunities for others.

During this talk based on Yvonne’s experience of building the WIFF community, Yvonne explores the power of women supporting other women in the face of self-doubt. She highlights the importance of celebrating each other’s achievements, creating a culture of encouragement and offers strategies for women to build a supportive network that fosters confidence and celebrates success.

This talk leverages Yvonne’s experience with WIFF and her podcast to address the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of Black women in media. She discusses historical tropes, explores the importance of Black women owning their narratives, and showcases projects by and for Black women filmmakers that challenge stereotypes and offer authentic portrayals.
