Continue to break barriers this Women’s History Month with Alia J. Daniels
Alia J. Daniels
Women have been left out from our history and overlooked far too often. Women’s History Month is a time to showcase the talent and creativity that lives within our female-identifying community.
Revry honors the contributions made by women to our history and society to provide recognition and encouragement of a more inclusive future. Directors, actresses, writers, and more; we’ll be interviewing creative and inspirational women who make a difference with their art.
Alia J. Daniels went to Loyola Law School with a Juris Doctorate in entertainment and sports law. She has over ten years of experience with advocating for underrepresented communities, which isn’t only limited to the entertainment industry. This background led her to becoming the co-founder and chief operating officer at Revry with ease, since Revry heavily focuses on being a diverse and inclusive platform for the BIPOC queer and allied community.
What does Women’s History Month month mean to you?
Women's History Month is an opportunity to highlight and honor women who have and continue to break barriers. I'm always stanning women (especially women of color) who are bad a**, but March is a time where we get to be extra loud about their dopeness.
There are so many unacknowledged women who made history. Is there a women creator that has impacted your work?
I'm not a creator in the traditional sense, so I'm going to go with Oprah. I'm not talking about Oprah the talk show host and journalist. I'm talking about Oprah, the mogul. The woman who when the time came for her to buy her show, she didn't hesitate. The woman who created several verticals (when no one else was doing that) to help spread her message of helping people to live their best life. She recognized her own power and value and leveraged that to help others.
History is inspirational to future generations. What advice would you give the next generation of women creators?
Don't wait for permission. Don't wait for someone else to get it. Sometimes you just have to do it. So go write that book, start that podcast, create your digital series, write that screenplay, sis! We are waiting and need your stories!
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Revry has curated a powerful collection of stories told by female artists featuring films, TV series, music, and more.
