#PRODUCERE
My work as a creative focuses on educating people on the diversity of the Black race — Blackness is not monolithic. As an Emmy-nominated producer, I’ve produced stories and graphics examining the history of African American English, why Black Americans love anime, and police brutality in Colombia.
Additionally, I created a three-part web series Tus Parceros, which highlighted 11 Afro-Latinx students and myself discussing topics regarding Afro-Latinidad, including analyzing race, traveling to our parents’ hometowns for the first time, and the commonalities amongst cultures of the African diaspora. The goal of Tus Parceros was to educate viewers on the multidimensions of the Latinx community built on an individual’s unique experiences — based on ethnic background, homelife and their Afro-Latinx community.
I’m always interested in new projects that intersect culture & history. I LOVE to research, so if you have a project I’d be a good fit for, please reach out! Email: contact@eileensalazar.com
