Hearst invites you to an exceptional documentary film screening and discussion event.
Please join us for a screening of Woman in Motion and a conversation with subject matter expert, Janeya Griffin (The Commercializer), hosted by Annie Rezac, your facilitator.
This session focuses on the challenge of building a workplace culture where courage, belonging, and inclusive behaviors are not only encouraged but woven into daily practices, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and engaged. Through the inspiring story of Nichelle Nichols, as captured in the documentary Woman in Motion, participants will explore how to act boldly in the face of fear, foster empathy and vulnerability, and understand how inclusive behaviors lead to psychological safety, a sense of belonging, and innovation.
Date & Time: March 21, 2025 | 11:00 AM EST (75 min)
Some people are born into opportunity, while others carve their own path. Janeya Griffin is the latter. A serial entrepreneur, award-winning strategist, and former NASA Technology Transfer Specialist, Janeya has spent her career breaking barriers and bridging gaps. She’s dedicated to creating pathways to generational wealth for historically excluded communities—leveraging innovation, entrepreneurship, and advocacy.
From overcoming systemic challenges in her youth to becoming a leader in technology commercialization and the New Space Economy, Janeya has built a legacy of impact. As the founder of The Commercializer®, LLC, and Equity Space Alliance, she transforms ideas into opportunities, helping underrepresented inventors, entrepreneurs, and HBCUs succeed on Earth—and beyond.
To take it one step further, she co-created the Equity Space Alliance Association to broaden participation by exposing communities to opportunities in space. Janeya is more than an entrepreneur; she’s a movement, proving that innovation and wealth-building belong to everyone.
