Thanks to the terrific efforts of executive producer Danielle Vassell of Sisterhood TV, the short documentary ‘Women of Impact: Defying the Odds’ produced by YSP Media recently aired for the first time as a premiere on the digital channel Vox Africa UK (Sky 193) on Friday 22nd May with further airings throughout the month.
With a planned physical premiere placed on hold indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak, Danielle was able to secure a terrific opportunity to screen the film on several occasions. The documentary follows five distinct but similarly inspirational journeys of young women of colour, with author and motivational speaker Danielle enlisting our services to produce and create a moving and enlightening short documentary based on her initial ideas and inspiration.
Featured in the film are director of Sisterhood TV, author and motivational speaker Danielle Vassell, academic and advocate for student development Christina Vassell, renowned journalist and broadcaster Sinai Fleary, the founder of Prosper not Perish and singer/songwriter Gabrielle Stapleton and author, consultant and advocate for foster care leavers Keeley Stephenson.
It was a true pleasure to be commissioned for this project which is now available to view online in full here, with further screenings to come in the future. Check out the trailer below and read more about the film on our featured profile here.
