The Auntie Hour is digital web series focused on the health and well being of black women over 50. Within this space we defy stereotypes and acknowledge our experiences while providing resources and information..Through this work we also seek to create a digital archive that represents black women from all walks of life during the 21st century.
The Auntie Hour was created by director/producer Joanna White-Oldham after she consistently received negative industry feedback pitching projects that centered black women of a certain age, particularly those who did not hold celebrity status. To date, The Auntie Hour has experienced steady growth on Facebook, with plans to extend to other platforms and to increase the resources we make available to our audience.
