     Women of Color Unite and the JTC List was founded by TV/film producer Cheryl L. Bedford. The JTC List was named after Bedford's mother, Joan Theresa Curtis who was a political activist throughout her entire life, standing up for equality and issues that affected race and human rights until her death in 2016. The JTC List was designed to make it easy for talented and skilled women of color in the industry from all over the world to join and be exposed to the networks, studios and production companies for consideration with the overall goal of getting them hired in their respective areas of expertise. In just one year, the group has grown to nearly 500 women of color and has been very successful in getting the ladies employed and into writing programs. 



     The gala sponsored by Viacom, CBS Diversity and Riboli Family of San Antonio Winery. Honorees include: legendary actress Marla Gibbs, producer Effie T. Brown (Dear White People) and the Holly Shorts Film Festival.
