Let’s Chop It Up: Black Documentary Filmmaking in Today’s Political Climate A candid conversation on how today’s political landscape is impacting Black documentarians — creatively, mentally, and financially. Join BADWest for community, insight, and real talk on sustaining the work.
This workshop is rooted in the core belief of Candidly Speaking: meaningful conversation can build bridges, change lives, and spark opportunity because people thrive when they feel seen, heard, and respected. This session provides an honest and affirming space for participants to explore:
Why "networking" doesn’t have to feel transactional or fake
How to shift from small talk to real talk—even in professional settings
Ways to read the room and find your people (even if you're the quiet one)
Building relationships that are intentional, reciprocal, and rooted in integrity
Navigating rejection, silence, or disinterest without internalizing it
The subtle power of listening, curiosity, and follow-up
This is more than a “how to network” session. It’s an invitation to reframe how we connect—with others, and with our own sense of purpose.
