#107 - Who Shapes the Narrative—Media, Politics, or Culture? | Carri Twigg

In this episode, I talk with Carri Twigg, co-founder of Culture House, a Black and Brown woman-owned media company focused on reshaping how race, gender, and identity are portrayed in media. Carri shares her journey from working in politics, including her time at the White House, to creating groundbreaking TV and film projects that blend storytelling with cultural and political impact.

We explore the inspiration behind Culture House, the influence of media on society, and the importance of representation in the stories we share. Carri offers reflections on the creative process and candid insights into navigating the challenges of the entertainment industry, providing thoughtful and engaging perspectives.

If you’re interested in the intersection of media and politics or want advice on creating meaningful content, this episode offers valuable insights, humor, and inspiration. Tune in to hear Carri’s vision for storytelling that truly makes a difference.
