Ms. Roper is an outstanding African American woman. She is extremely intellectual with her words of wisdom and I would be lying if I said our conversation was not inspiring. Her words she spoke in the 5 minutes we had together, was like a outlook on her journey through her success. She graduated from Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts in Radio & Television and Master in Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media. She began her career in media working in a variety of positions for multimedia entertainment productions.
She has also been involved in amount of tremendous productions and provided assistance to: Sara Lee Corporation, Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage, Chicago Urban League, YMCA, National Association of Minority Media Executives, Miss USA Pageant, Black Entertainment Television, National Black MBA Association, City of New York and the White House during President Clinton’s administration.
Her expression when she is sharing with me about also working along side NBC’s Today Show & ABC’s The Last Word with talk show host Phill Donahue was so great that tells me it was memorable moment in her career. A director of Public Relations offered her a portion for NBC series “The Cosby Show” where she also worked closely with Mr.Cosby and was in charge of the internship program, there at the show.
Ms.Roper has not stop achieving many goals in life remains actively involved with a number of organizations and causes. She is currently have a project: The Man Project, a documentary, multimedia installation and a web-based exhibit, was created as a response to the negative imagery that permeates the media in regards to Black men.
