Danielle's Story
Life
Hi All,
After graduating from the School of Communications at Howard University I began working for Black Entertainment Television. While there I was able to travel across the country and beyond working with some of my favorite performers and entertainers.
After leaving BET I worked for a very short time with Teddy Pendergrass... we won't get into it... just color me bitter. From there I worked on a live, morning, talk show in Pittsburgh, PA where, while I did not know it at the time, I came into my own as a producer.
From there I left to go to NYC.. then returned to BET as the Senior Producer for Video Soul ... eventually leaving TV production to move on to BET's Special Events & Development team. After a couple years there, I went to Hartford, CT as a Producer for the short-lived talk show "The Gayle King Show"... you know her as Oprah's best friend. At the same time "Gayle" was being canceled I was being recruited by D...Expand for more
isney. So, I moved... yet again... this time to Orlando and spent five years as a Special Event Producer at Walt Disney World Entertainment in Florida (can you say sun & fun)!.
I'm back in Washington, DC now (boy has it changed since I left). I produced for "America's Black Forum," did two season's on TV-One's dating/game show "Get The Hookup" (what a HOOT!!), and during the summer headed up a sports and entertainment camp for kids. After about three years I did my first run as an Executive Producer (YEAH!) on a brand new talk show on the newly launched Retirement Living TV network. After that I launched my own Production Company and currently I am a Social Media Specialist.
I love being back in the DC area and I am enjoying spending time with my friends and family, riding my bike, and FINALLY, coming to the end of renovation process for my house in historic Le Droit Park. I'd love to hear from you all!
Much Love,
Danielle
