Paulette Marte is a Director, Producer and recent graduate of New York University. She started her college career majoring in history with intentions to attend law school but decided that she didn’t want to do homework for the rest of her life. After taking production classes, Paulette felt a stronger connection to film and decided to minor in Producing which resulted in her switching career lanes. This led to several internships, including a position on HBO’s Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge in NYC and Annapurna Pictures during the Summer of 2018 after her graduation. She is currently working as a Production Associate on an upcoming HBO documentary about asylum seekers.

Though she decided to not pursue history, her tactical mind and strong conviction makes for a phenomenal Director and Producer. Her mind is as sharp as her vision is clear and she's able to get her point across to anyone who's listening.

After growing up in the Bronx, Paulette dreams of inflicting change in the film industry by bringing young people of color, specifically women, to the forefronts of production and shining a light on stories that would not otherwise be told while developing her own creative ideas in the process.

Kayra Clouden is a Producer and recent graduate from the University of New Haven. After completing her Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media and Bachelor of Science in T.V/Video Production, Kayra moved to New York City where she is now a Development Assistant for Viacom’s MTV and VH1.

After growing up on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands and possessing a ton of dreams that seemed next to impossible for a young girl, Kayra began channeling her creative urges into her blog and videos which she did not begin to create until her Sophomore year of college. She has since launched and developed two other digital shows with ADULTIN' being her third.

Kayra has huge dreams of doing it all. From producing, to writing, to acting and directing, as well as owning and operating a successful digital production network - Kayra acknowledges that the limit does not exist.

It is Kayra's ultimate mission to inspire other young dreamers who may not 'have it all' to go out and make their dreams work for them through persistence, dedication, positivity and simply having fun.

Malique Daniels is a Freelance Editor and recent grad of Georgia State University where she obtained a Bachelor's in Film and Video while minoring in Entertainment Media Management.

Malique aspires to one day edit for film and television and in her early twenties, she discovered that all of her childhood dreams were overshadowed by the realities of adulthood. Determined to cultivate her own success, she decided to move to NYC from her hometown of ATL in 2017. Once she made the official move, it was clear that she’d have to grind harder than she ever did before.

Becoming a successful editor is not something that happens overnight and requires countless hours of work, often unpaid, to get one foot in the door. Still holding on dearly to her dream, she began freelancing as a video editor for Bossip while feeding into her passion in order to perfect her craft.

Malique learned that the key to overcoming your dreams is to not be afraid and to consistently live outside of your comfort zone. The saying “If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere,” resonates more and more with her as she begins to witness the pieces of her vision coming together - like a Premiere Pro sequence!
