The Pardon My Art podcast is a show that focuses on creatives who are painters, sculptors, illustrators, comic book writers & artists, makers, fiction authors, screenwriters, poets, playwrights, filmmakers, crafters, photographers, animators, graphic artists, and more. The show highlights the "creativepreneuer" and those who have made their art their business.
Pardon My Art is for artists and creatives of all types who are looking to learn from other artists so they can stay focused and productive with their creative enterprises. Specifically, the show is made to help artists who are struggling with being entrepreneurial, or who are looking for ways to make their art their business, to find inspiration that will help them to take their creative work to the next level.
Pardon My Art is also for those who love art and want to learn about amazing things being produced by rock star artists in the Pardon My Art network.

Nehad Khader - Empowering Stories: Film as a Tool for Cultural Transformation - 016
Today’s guest is Nehad Khader, a Philadelphia-based film programmer, curator, and editor focusing on media and literature by Black and Brown creators. Nehad is the Festival Director for the infamous BlackStar Film Festival founded in 2012 by Maori Karmael Holmes, chief executive and Artistic officer for BlackStar. The BlackStar Film Festival is recognized around the world as an event that counters the erasure and the misrepresentation of BIPOC individuals in storytelling through film.
BlackStar's fundamental mission is to create the spaces and resources needed to uplift the work of BIPOC artists working outside of the confines of genres. I learned a lot from Nehad about how she journeyed as a creator, became a festival director, and why this work is so important to her.
