Black Girls In Media is a networking organization dedicated to supporting and uplifting minority women within the media industry. Established as a response to the underrepresentation and unique challenges faced by Black women in media roles, this organization serves as a beacon of opportunity and community.
"Black women in corporate America are less likely than their male or white colleagues to be promoted or to receive the support and access they need to advance despite being just as ambitious.”

"Black women in corporate America are less likely than their male or white colleagues to be promoted or to receive the support and access they need to advance despite being just as ambitious.”
Founded in 2018, Founder and Social Media Strategist, Tasha McCaskiel was back in her hometown— post grad-school, struggling to get hired in the media industry and begin her full-time career. “Why am I not getting hired?” She asked herself. Having friends and family in different professional industries than her, she had no one to vent to, or assist with these issues. She then began noting the extreme difficulty that women of color face breaking into the corporate world and gaining equal opportunity.
After months of feeling lost and uninspired; Tasha came up with the idea to create a platform where women can uplift each other and cross network to gain opportunities in order to bring one another through those corporate doors. What started as a small GroupMe chat, grew into a worldwide community. So far, over 1,000+ opportunities have been given to BGIM members with an audience of over 90,000 people worldwide.
"Empowering minority women isn't just about diversity; it's about enriching perspectives and amplifying voices. As a business owner, I'm committed to providing opportunities that fuel their growth and success in media. Together, we're not just breaking barriers; we're building bridges to a more inclusive future."
