February is Black History Month, a time for reflection, celebration, and a renewed commitment to amplifying Black voices and honoring the profound contributions of Black individuals throughout history. It’s a time to acknowledge the ongoing struggle for equity and justice, and to recommit ourselves to building a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
This year, I’m particularly drawn to the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving and celebrating Black narratives. It’s through sharing our stories that we connect with one another, build empathy, and foster a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences that shape our world.
And that’s why I want to shine a light on the incredible work of Theresa Moore, founder and President of T-Time Productions. Theresa is a force of nature, a passionate advocate for Black artists, and a true champion of Black history and culture.
Theresa Moore’s Journey: From ESPN to T-Time Productions
Theresa’s journey is a testament to her unwavering dedication to amplifying marginalized voices. From her successful career in sports marketing at ESPN, where she created platforms like “The Block Party” and “Images in Black and White,” to launching her own production company, Theresa has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged the status quo.
Even before founding T-Time Productions, Theresa was making waves with powerful films like her 2007 documentary, “License to Thrive: Title IX at 35.” This multimedia initiative explored the impact of Title IX legislation, highlighting its crucial role in empowering women in sports and beyond. This work speaks volumes about Theresa’s commitment to telling the stories of those who have often been overlooked and celebrating the strides made towards gender equality.
T-Time Productions: Bringing Black Stories to the Stage
Now, through T-Time Productions, she creates powerful and engaging theatrical productions that tell the stories of Black individuals and communities, bringing their experiences to life on stage and fostering dialogue around important social issues.
I’ve been deeply impressed by Theresa’s dedication to preserving Black history and her commitment to using art as a vehicle for social change. Her work is not only entertaining but also deeply educational, offering audiences a unique opportunity to learn about the rich tapestry of Black history and culture. She brings untold stories to the forefront, illuminating the resilience, creativity, and strength of Black individuals throughout generations.
What strikes me most about Theresa’s work is her unwavering belief in the power of storytelling to heal, to connect, and to inspire. She understands that by sharing our stories, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more just and compassionate world. Her productions, and her films, are a testament to the transformative power of art and its ability to bridge divides and foster understanding.
Black History Month is not just about looking back; it’s also about looking forward. It’s about recognizing the incredible work being done by Black individuals like Theresa Moore who are shaping our present and building a brighter future. It’s about amplifying their voices, celebrating their achievements, and supporting their efforts to create a more equitable and inclusive society.
I encourage you to learn more about Theresa Moore and T-Time Productions. Support her work, attend her performances, and share her story. Let’s celebrate Black History Month by amplifying Black voices and honoring the legacies of those who have paved the way for a more just and equitable future. Let’s commit to continuing this work beyond February, making it a year-round priority to celebrate Black history, culture, and contributions. Because Black history is American history, and it deserves to be celebrated every single day.
