YWCA South Florida: Advancing Women’s History, empowering the future
Women’s History Month is more than a moment of reflection—it is a call to action. As we honor the groundbreaking contributions of women throughout history,
Where are they now?
By Llerraj Esuod
Driven by rejection and limited access, award-winning TV producer and serial entrepreneur Kitty Lundan is a staunch advocate for authentic representation in media. She creates spaces like What’s Poppin’ PBC (Palm Beach County) and My Homeboyz, believing that “no one is just handing you a platform… You’ve got to build your doors.”
Ironically—perhaps divinely—her diverse talents—makeup artistry, song and scriptwriting, and content development—“fit together like pieces of a puzzle.”
Lundan epitomizes “talent in motion,” understanding that each gift and skill serves a greater purpose.
Her song Now I Can’t Breathe exemplifies this, transcending borders with its unifying message of liberty and justice while urging action for social change. She is as committed to a cultural shift as to personal development. However, she admits that sometimes she feels disheartened when “it feels like you are carrying the weight of your dreams alone.” “It’s easy to feel discouraged when doors seem closed,” she shares.
Yet, Lundan draws strength from her faith, knowing it is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
“Keep pressing. Keep pushing. No matter how many ‘no’s’ you get, it only takes one ‘yes’ to change everything,” she says.
With Season 3 of What’s Poppin’ PBC on the horizon and a book launch underway, Lundan is ready to continue making an impact, confident that “when God does it, it’s always exceedingly and abundantly more than I could ask or imagine.”

Publisher's Note
As we commemorate Women’s History Month, M•I•A Media Group takes immense pride in honoring the remarkable contributions of women, with a special emphasis on Black women, whose resilience, innovation, and leadership have profoundly shaped our society.
Historically, Black women have been the bedrock of our communities, often navigating intersecting challenges of race and gender with unparalleled grace and determination. Figures like Harriet Tubman, who led countless enslaved individuals to freedom, and Sojourner Truth, whose advocacy for abolition and women’s rights still resonates today, laid the foundation for future generations.
In the realm of civil rights, stalwarts such as Rosa Parks and Dorothy Height challenged systemic injustices, propelling the movement toward equality. Their courage serves as a beacon, reminding us of the power inherent in steadfast conviction. The arts and sciences, too, have been enriched by Black women’s brilliance. From Hattie McDaniel, the first Black actor to win an Oscar, to Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel in space, their achievements have shattered ceilings and expanded horizons.
At M•I•A Media Group, our mission has always been to spotlight such narratives, ensuring that the legacies of these phenomenal women are celebrated and remembered. Our media platforms are dedicated to chronicling the stories of Black excellence, past and present.
This Women’s History Month, we are particularly excited to feature a series of articles and interviews that delve into the lives of contemporary Black women who are making waves across various sectors. These stories not only highlight individual accomplishments but also underscore the collective progress we’ve made as a community. However, while we celebrate these milestones, it’s crucial to acknowledge the work that remains. Black women continue to face disparities in areas such as healthcare, employment, and representation. It is our collective responsibility to address these challenges head-on, fostering environments where Black women can thrive without impediment.
In closing, let us use this month as a catalyst—not just for reflection, but for action. By supporting, uplifting, and advocating for Black women, we pave the way for a more equitable and just society.
To all the Black women who have inspired, led, and persevered: we honor you, today and always.
