Join us as we interview Melissa C. Potter, award winning Producer and Head of Social Impact and Communications with Odyssey Impact. Melissa creates a platform for diverse voices to be heard in traditional media spaces. She has produced several critically acclaimed, award winning documentary and short-form pieces that focus on the issues of criminal justice, sexual and gender-based violence, interfaith healing, and urban gun violence. Awards include: winner of Best Documentary Short 2018 at the Tribeca Film Festival; winner of the Peabody Award 2018; and winner of Prize for Human Rights at the Venice Film Festival. While she currently focuses on social impact initiatives, her impressive resume began in an unlikely place - the music business. Join us as we chat with Melissa about the path she took and how it all ties into her passion. We'll discuss how it was to be a black woman in the music industry in the late 90s/early 2000s. She'll also share gems on how to make your skills transferable to any career path and how remaining tech savvy during a pandemic can help you keep your job.
