Your audience won’t just be inspired—they’ll be equipped.

A clear understanding of what decision-makers really look for—and how to stand out in competitive spaces.
Tools to stop chasing every opportunity and instead align their brand, materials, and mindset with their true creative identity.
The ability to tell stories that reflect not only their talent, but their truth, culture, and legacy.

For Black creatives especially, Twinkie offers something rare and deeply necessary: a space where artistry meets advocacy, and where personal storytelling becomes cultural power. In “When Passion Meets Purpose,” participants explore the evolution of Black cinema while reclaiming their voice not just as performers, but as purposeful storytellers and culture-shapers.
