ABOUT

LGBTQ-owned, women-led, and rooted in a for us, by us philosophy, we bring journalistic integrity & production excellence. We believe great stories reflect culture & build creative teams with lived experience in that culture intentionally. Founded by Peabody & Emmy-winning director & producer Sara "SJ" Johnson, YES& MEDIA specializes in intersectional storytelling that showcases human complexity & elevates underrepresented voices.

Shared identity creates trust. We match crews to subjects. Black queer women creatives for Black queer women subjects. Latinx directors for Latinx stories. Women producers for stories about women's lives. This isn't optics. It's rigor. Authentic storytelling is best told by those who have actually lived the story.
