Intro
Hi! I’m Tyra. I’m a queer, biracial woman happily working in children’s TV! I’ve just finished the BIPOC Kids TV Writing Bootcamp and am looking to put my new writing skills to use. I’m incredibly passionate about children’s media and believe I have a lot to offer from my unique experience as a queer woman of colour. I am currently working on two personal projects, an 11-minute animated action comedy for girls 9-12 and a 22-minute live action political comedy for tweens.
