We're celebrating voices during Black History Month. Here we're featuring Kameesha Jones, AV Project Manager for Florida International University.
Q&A with Brittni Woodland -- Celebrating Black History Month with WAVIT
Can you share a bit about your background and how your personal experiences have shaped who you are today?
○ I grew up a military child traveling worldwide, so diversity has always been a key fabric of my human experience. While I have not always been welcomed into every space or place I have encountered, I understand the importance of honoring and celebrating differences. I believe exposure to varying cultures and ways of life from an early age has been a guidepost for the unique experiences and paths I’ve walked, including finding myself in what I consider a niche yet expansive industry, like audio-visual technology.
● Were there any mentors or role models along the way who influenced your journey?
○ While she is not a mentor, Alesia Hendley (Sennheiser) is incredibly inspiring. In my opinion, she’s a high-energy creator and professional, and she continues to carve out a path for herself in this industry by putting in the work and innovating unique and influential forms of communication and connection, among various other talents and skills she possesses.
Join WAVIT as we celebrate Black History Month by amplifying the voices of Black professionals in the audio-visual and IT industries. We're honoring history, empowering the present, and inspiring the future. #BlackVoicesInAVIT
