Project Description

History is made by those who tell the history. THIS IS IT NETWORK™ is making history by telling the global stories of remarkable women. Join us as we expand our reach and grow our community. 

 

​​THIS IS IT NETWORK™, led by CEO Cheldin Barlatt Rumer, is a global, female-owned, black-owned digital media network that amplifies diverse voices. Through inspiring content and authentic conversations, we empower women to SCREAM THEIR DREAM™—to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

 

Our platform bridges the gap left between social and traditional media, offering educational entertainment that combines storytelling with actionable insights. From digital production to community-building events, THIS IS IT NETWORK™ creates spaces where female leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs can connect, learn, and grow.

 

With your support, we’re building our THIS IS IT NETWORK™ Media + Innovation Center—a dynamic state-of-the-art facility that will house our live studio audience, interactive classrooms, podcast suites, content labs, and entrepreneurial resources while encouraging collaboration, mentorship, and community engagement—https://thisisittv.com/mediacenter. 

 

This center will support our growing full-time staff and the global expansion of our network across AppleTV, Roku, FireTV, and other platforms. We aim to create a safe place for visitors and community members to learn new skills, develop beneficial relationships, and enhance the region’s economic development. This expansion will enable us to reach new audiences and elevate more voices worldwide—https://thisisittv.com/ourapp/. Join us as we redefine media, celebrate diversity, and foster innovation.
