ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Welcome to the monumental Season 7 Premiere of the Post in Black podcast! We are kicking off this brand new season of celebrating Black excellence behind the lens and speaker by sitting down with the phenomenal singer, songwriter, producer, and film composer Shameka Dwight.

From landing original music on television soundtracks to releasing her deeply evocative project, Where Is Your Heart? | Cinematic Folk Songs, Shameka is a true visionary in the music and post-production space. In this season opener, she takes us behind the scenes of her brilliant creative process. Shameka gets completely raw and honest about learning to trust her own production instincts, navigating the complex world of sync licensing, and overcoming the industry expectations that try to box in Black creators.

Whether you're an aspiring music editor, a filmmaker looking for scoring secrets, or a fan of powerful storytelling, this episode is an absolute masterclass in creative resilience.
