hi.
my name is melissa ingram
allow me to introduce myself
i’m the general manager of aspireTV
i am wife
mom
daughter
sister
friend
hbcu grad
AKA
and most importantly a believer of god
+ lover of black culture and people
as a kid
i loved to write and would do so on anything –
back of the light bill
in church bulletins
love letters from my brother’s “little friend”
anything
and today i made a commitment to get back to one of my first loves
and write a love note to another love of mine – black people
i recognize the incredible gift that we at aspireTV have been given
to serve a remarkably special audience
and the power of the platform we’ve been given to do so
and our hope at aspireTV is that we make you proud and that you
see yourself here
not just in the movies you see on our network
or in our talent
but i introduced myself with the hope that you would
see yourself in me
and in the other 12 persons of color that serve you
behind the scenes at aspireTV
because we see you
we reflect you
and we love you black people
like for real, for real.
write me back @ [email protected]
and share your love note to black people with me in 20 words or less
i’d love to hear from you
talk soon
melissa ingram
