The 2023 class of mentees for the Black Boy Writes & Black Girl Writes Mentorship Initiative has been announced. They are presented by writer Mike Gauyo, in partnership with Stage 32, with support from Culture Creative Entertainment, M88 & Final Draft
The partnership with Stage 32 consisted of a global search for emerging Black writers, which resulted in a record number of applications from over a dozen countries. The outcome is a mentee class of 12 writers.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the latest group of mentees, who I’m sure will go on to do amazing things in and out of the program,” said Black Boy Write Media founder, Mike Gauyo.
The yearlong initiative provides pre-WGA Black writers with a pathway to becoming established screenwriters in entertainment.
The 2023 class of mentees will partake in a comprehensive program that includes monthly Writer Roundtables with established writers/industry leaders. Participants have included Morgan Cooper , Sara Finney Johnson , Golden Globe winning writer/director Kemp Powers , and Oscar winning director Peter Ramsey . A current USC MFA Candidate in Writing for Screen and Television, Aaliyah writes about the weight of family and deeply flawed characters who are fiercely passionate and a little delusional.
