Welcome back to another episode of What Would Sydney Do? Where we unpack hot topics, get a little personal, and I ask the real question… what would I do if I were you?
In this episode, I sit down with Devin Saddler and Kamau Daniels, the minds behind Meet at Eight, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting independent productions led by Black filmmakers and creatives of color at the highest level. Through their work, they’re creating real opportunities and making it easier for emerging creatives to connect, collaborate, and grow.
Let’s be real. Networking can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to gain experience post-grad — and that pressure matters, approximately 85% of jobs are filled via networking, with 70% never publicly advertised.
So we get into how Devin and Kamau navigate that and awkwardness, build community, and continue to thrive in an industry that doesn’t always make it easy. Stick around, you don’t want to miss this one!
