About this Event
Black Barbie Film Screening
Join us for an unforgettable experience at Provident1898, where we dive into the powerful intersection of film, leadership, and legacy. This special screening of Black Barbie: A Documentary is more than just a film viewing—it's a platform for an engaging discussion on the resilience and brilliance of Black women who have led industries and reshaped the landscape of innovation.
Our post-screening dialogue will explore the often-overlooked stories of Black women breaking barriers and redefining leadership, featuring insights from Lagueria Davis, Writer and Director of Black Barbie and Tivi Jones, Founder & CEO of Hey Awesome Girl! We’ll trace the journey from Viola Turner’s groundbreaking work at NC Mutual, where she built a million-dollar investment portfolio that propelled the company to billion-dollar success, to Kitty Black Perkins’ iconic creation of the first Black Barbie, which revolutionized Mattel and paved the way for inclusivity in the toy industry.
We'll honor the boldness, vision, and perseverance that have shaped not only corporate industries but cultural legacies. Join us as we celebrate the powerful stories of these pioneering women and explore how their leadership has inspired and empowered future generations.
