Wade is up for a Southeast Emmy award this month for her work as a performer/narrator on the Alabama Public Television series Yellowhammer History Hunt.
If unconventional success could embody a person, creator Erika Eileen Wade, an award-winning voice actor, writer and producer and the founder of Birmingham-based Glenda’s Baby Productions, could fit the bill.
She also won a couple of Telly Awards for her voice-over talent for History Hunt as well.Wade also recently wrote a movie that will be based in Birmingham, has so much interest that she’s currently in a bidding war with production companies, she said. Wade graduated from ASFA in 2008 and attended the University of Alabama, where she published a book at age 19 – ‘Eyestodewhurld’ an anthology poetry book about political culture, Black history and culture, the decay of society and other themes on the human experience from the early 2000’s.
On opening night of the show, she was called by a colleague from SCAD who worked in development and programming at MGM “and asked if I could be at MGM that week to meet with the Vice President in development and programing…. and off that same show script , was asked to pitch some original titles.”
