"After each Essence Festival, it's guaranteed I've learned another level of what it means to have grace-under-pressure from Gina Charbonnet. Collaborating with her for years as the executive producer of daytime programming at EF, Gina's professionalism never waivers as she's producing a multi-tiered live show in real time that includes wrangling personalities from politics, Hollywood, or the C-Suite. At the core of her work, Gina's a storyteller, which makes her connection to Essence a perfect fit."
