OUR WORK AND IMPACT
SoulCanvas: A New Creative Community
In partnership with AAMBC, we’re launching SoulCanvas on March 30, 2024, at Emerson College L.A. This event is all about bringing creatives together—regardless of background or beliefs—while shining a light on holistic wellness. Expect inspiring fireside chats, keynote speakers, interactive experiences, film screenings, and a marketplace filled with vendors.
Giving Tuesday & Supporting Black Filmmakers
For Giving Tuesday 2023, we teamed up with the Black TV & Film Collective (BTFC) to produce a 12-hour livestream telethon packed with interviews, films, and special content. This event helped connect BTFC members and partners, growing support for Black creatives in film and TV.
Our leadership with BTFC also extends to international initiatives, supporting filmmakers of color through mentorship, education, and resource-sharing. Thanks to strategic collaborations, we’ve built meaningful relationships with industry giants like Netflix, Warner Bros., United Talent Agency (UTA), and Aspire TV to help push the movement forward.
Film & TV Productions
Our original short film, "Don’t Be Desperate," starring D. Woods (For Colored Girls…, Stuck With You, Danity Kane), was made possible by a crowdfunding campaign that raised over $20,000. It was an official selection at the Hip Hop Film Festival, Newark International Film Festival, and even took home the Independent Spirit Award at the Detroit Black Film Festival. The film was also nominated for Outstanding Music at the Micheaux Film Festival (2022) and premiered on Aspire TV in October 2023.
Our founder, Yhá Mourhia Wright, also created and produced the hit episodic series, "#LoveMyRoomie," which has racked up over 1 million minutes streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Through strategic partnerships and fundraising, we’ve been able to keep delivering high-quality, industry-standard content that truly resonates.

At YháWright Productions, our mission is simple: amplify BIPOC stories and create opportunities for representation in the entertainment industry. Through powerful storytelling, innovative production, and a deep commitment to diversity, we continue to inspire and uplift communities around the world.
We invite you to join us on this journey—whether as a collaborator, supporter, or audience member. Let’s create, empower, and celebrate together. One story at a time.
