New Year. New Decade. New Era. New women.
Right before the New Year, Millennial women music and commercial directors, Roxana Baldovin directing Gen-Zoomers, Doja Cat's and Saweetie's music videos; former Beyonce back-up dancer turned music video director, Tajana B-Williams are busting and ripping apart boxes while taking back female sexuality and empowerment away from male chauvinistic patriarchy exploiting it.
These women directors are building upon the female sexual awareness and empowerment pioneered by "Sex and the City" twenty-five years ago then expanding into music videos, directing them for Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, and Rico Nasty, while expanding their idea of female empowerment to Millennial men and towards social movements of Black Lives Matters.
Former Beyonce dancer, Tajana B-Williams, https://www.tajanabwilliams.com/film turned her dance background and empathy into a thriving music and art video directing career, bringing out the best in singers through making them comfortable.
Like precursor, choreographer turned director/film-maker, Bob Fosse, Tajana uses her dance background to ease comfort to bring out the best in performers while making a statement, whether it be female sexuality and empowerment or social rights movement.
Roxana Baldovin, Music Videos - Roxana Baldovin today's idea of a music video directing, global-trotting unabashed female, uninhibited sexual director, who just happens to be a young, late Millennial bringing out the best in Gen-Z Doja Cat and Rico Nasty...
In Rico Nasty's "Money," Roxana turns table about men exploiting women's sexuality for profit by empowering women sexuality for their own money, with or without men.
When she's not spinning male chauvinism on its head, Roxana is busy taking the next step forward by pitching tv series ideas to networks.
Tajana B-Williams and Roxana Baldovin are taking Annie Lennox's and Aretha Franklin's "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves" ethos by leveling it up in videos, commercials, film, and tv series while owning up women sexuality then empowering it back to women. Owning up their ownership and taking control of it, in any way they want it.
These ladies are busting up and ripping apart boxes.
