The event’s founder, Shadeh Smith, was previously a Senior Creative Executive at Atlantic Records Los Angeles and Atlantic Records London. She created SheMadeIt to challenge the status quo in today’s media by offering educational opportunities for women and people of color who want to direct. 

Last year, the event was launched in Los Angeles with big names like Beats and Kehlani joining their panels and events. Since then, they’ve held workshops on the east and west coasts with their aim to reduce inequities in film for POC directors.
