Disney’s Onyx Collective Tara Duncan, President of TriStar Pictures Nicole Brown, Senior Film Executive, Development, Production, & Acquisition, Amazon MGM Studios Amber Rasberry, and Netflix's Vice President of Film Niija Kuykendall.
HelloBeautiful and MadameNoire’s annual Women to Know campaign features video interviews and a group cover of trailblazing women every March. Last year the brands featured Women to Know: Tech Titans.

“The iONE team is thrilled to be able to use our platform to highlight the incredible accomplishments of these esteemed Black women,” said McGevna-Cirino . “In a time when
our stories are consistently undervalued, the work these powerhouse women do is more important than ever.”
McGevna-Cirino is a multimedia storyteller and media executive with experience in digital, broadcast and print media as well as film and television production. Director of Sponsor and Affiliate Content, Cliché Wynter-Mayo, has an unflinching dedication to storytelling that has helped build the iONE Digital sponsorship team from the ground up. Editorial Director of Style & Beauty for HelloBeautiful, Shamika Sanders, is a digital influencer with a penchant for entertainment news and pop culture. The team collaborated with Oracle Media, a Black-female-owned-and-operated production company, led by Jordan
Benston, to create and execute this annual Women’s History Month campaign.

She has also worked on several major projects including “The Woman King.” Rasberry, is an award-winning motion picture TV executive with an extensive background in the entertainment industry.
She has been an executive producer for films like “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” “Precious” and “Candy Cane Lane.” Here is what the executive had to say on the topic of diversity in Hollywood.
“But you see the box-office success,” said Rasberry. “You see the streaming success when you have diversity, and when you have it in front and behind the camera, when you have it
with executives, and it’s not just looking at diversity and inclusion as a temporary measure,
but really, really engrained in the fabric of a company and the business model, not just a fix-it for now.”

Thanks to fearless women leaders like McGevna-Cirino, WynterMayo and Sanders, HelloBeautiful and MadameNoire have become nationally-recognized, Blackowned media brands led by women, that continue tell stories in and about the Black community and create content representative of the community and culture.
On Wednesday March 20th in Los Angeles, select media will have an opportunity to meet and interview HelloBeautiful and MadameNoire leaders in-person, and the Hollywood Executives, at the 2024 Women to Know: Hollywood Executives Dinner following the release of the Women to Know: Hollywood Executives digital cover and Roundtable on Tuesday, March 19th.
