After some time to recover from the One Battle After Another awards season whirlwind, Teyana Taylor is hitting Tribeca for a talk presented by Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program.
The event, put on as part of Tribeca’s Storytellers Series, is set for June 7 at the Tribeca Festival‘s hub at Spring Studios and will see Taylor diving into discussions around mentorship, creative leadership and opportunities for female storytellers.
“Joining the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee with Tribeca and Chanel felt personal to me because I know how powerful it is when women are given the space, support and confidence to fully step into their vision,” Taylor said in a statement. “That’s what Through Her Lens is about — empowering women to tell bold, honest stories in their own voice. I’m proud to be part of something with Chanel that’s creating that kind of lasting impact.”
Since 2015, Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program has supported and mentored emerging filmmakers through an annual workshop and development grants. The program’s Advisory Committee includes Jane Fonda, Patty Jenkins, Laura Karpman, Lucy Liu, A.V. Rockwell, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington and Olivia Wilde alongside Taylor.
