Join us for an extra special episode of SEE Change with special guest, Angelina Vivolo Cicala. Angelina is a three-time Emmy Award-winning executive producer and director, Principal of AVC Productions, LLC, entrepreneur, advocate for women in television, and Founder of TellHerVision, mother of two amazing children and creator of a new TV series, "America's Next CEO".
Angelina's story is one of determination, passion, and a quest to level the playing field for women in television production. From her early days as an intern and her first big break, to starting her own production company and founding TellHerVision, all while raising two small children at home, Angelina is leading a SEE Change in the industry and setting an example of what is possible when you find a career that you love and are determined to make an impact.
We were fortunate to meet Angelina through her daughter, Alexandra Cicala. Alexandra was a Seelaus intern this summer and is a rising Junior at St. John's University, an entrepreneur, Girls Who Invest Alum, and Founder of Financially Lit. Alexandra joins us for part of the conversation to talk about how she found her way to Seelaus and what it is like growing up with such an incredible mom as a role model.
