Entertainment Executive Goals

When Tia Black ('22) reflects on powerful women in entertainment that she looks up to, she thinks of women like Nicole Brown and Alana Mayo, presidents of TriStar and Orion Pictures respectively, and Shondaland founder Shonda Rhimes. Inspired by her idols, Tia took a competitive summer internship with the Television Academy Foundation's host company, Shondaland. Through BU's Study Abroad Los Angeles Program, she also interned at Media Res and NBCUniversal. Following graduation in 2022, Tia worked at William Morris Endeavor (WME) in the Voice Over and TV Scripted departments and is currently an assistant at Proximity Media, a multimedia company founded by Ryan Coogler. The BU communications master’s program prepared her to continue to work towards her mission of being an entertainment executive who helps create opportunities for underrepresented groups to be and feel seen on screen.
