Television and film are universal past times that connect people across the world. Whether you enjoy watching daytime programming; an occasional "chick flick," or identify as a "Gladiator," film and television are influential powers in our society. But you have to wonder who keeps the wheels turning in the factory? What goes on behind the scenes? What does a career in this field entail? This Madam Monday feature answers these questions and more.
This Monday we ask,
Who is Alonna Green?
Media. Love. Faith.
These three words sum of the passions of this up and coming media maverick. After receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications, Ms. Green moved across the country to pursue a career in Production. Since then this New York City native turned Los Angeles lady, has excelled working for Fox Television, CBS, and NBC Universal.
The seafood connoisseur starts her day by praying and meditating. Her foundation is in her faith. She then heads to work at Deluxe Digital, an entertainment and digital distribution group that provides content owners and creators with the tools and talent they need to bring the most compelling and exciting stories to life. She currently works as the Content Recovery Lead. Being in a managerial position, she's often required to meet with the Vice Presidents of the company regarding the current state of upcoming motion picture releases for that week.

Ms. Green is grateful to have seen so much momentum at such a young age. Her biggest accomplishment was a position she obtained at the tender age of 23. During that time Ms. Green worked as an Associate Producer for the #1 daytime talk show, "Dr. Phil."
I worked really hard while I was there and I proved that there is splendor in taking risks.
Ms. Green has some strong and sturdy advice for women who want to pursue a career in the field of Media and Production. She suggests that it is first important to do your research and then really try to figure out what it is you want to accomplish.
Never apologize for being aggressive and passionate about what you believe in... Women tend to get a bad rep for being too overbearing in the workplace, but embrace and accept it if you are producing excellence. You should be passionate and vocal about your craft.
Ms. Green also warns women interested in the entertainment business to not get caught up or distracted.

It's so easy to get caught up with money, celebrities, and "15 seconds of fame." I've seen people settle with being unhappy and stressed just because they were more concerned with the image they portrayed verses their own mental well-being. This industry can be overwhelming, demanding, and unforgiving. So, just make sure you are in it for the right reasons.
What keeps Ms. Green going? The fact that she has more to achieve!
The fact that "Alonna Green" isn't a brand yet is all the motivation I need to keep going. I have really big dreams and a responsibility to assist others in achieving theirs. I'm still learning my purpose but I know it involves enhancing others. I'm really working on personal development. I don't want to look back on my 20s/30s and regret not taking advantage of my time.
In the future, Ms. Green hopes to land a career in music media. She finds music to be so timeless, colorless, and therapeutic. Music has been an escape for her and an avenue by which she can explore her thoughts.
To the question of whether women can have it all, Ms Green answers ultimately by saying it depends on the woman.
I think the world conditions women to believe that they can't have it all in order to box them in and control them. I believe that you can have all that you work hard to obtain. There are no limits. The moment you believe you can't, then you won't.
