Join us for a special Building Doors conversation with two powerhouse artists who know what it takes to carve out space in entertainment.

Kaili Turner (Afro-Indigenous comedian, actress, writer, producer, and puppeteer; Fk’d Up & Fabulous, Black Santa, SNL/Second City Scholar) uses comedy to uplift marginalized voices while creating edgy, thought-provoking work that resonates across stage, screen, and festival circuits.

Arlene McGruder (actress, writer, comic, producer; And Just Like That, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Young Rock, Fk’d Up & Fabulous) is a founding member of The BlackHERthePen collective and brings award-winning performances and productions to film, television, and theater.

Together, they’ll dive into the real talk behind the grind—what happens after you’ve landed roles, built projects, and stacked credits. How do you sustain the work, protect your voice, and keep creating when you’re “booked and busy”?

When was the last time you heard a woman voicing the promos for the Super Bowl, a PGA tournament, or the World Cup? Chances are, you haven’t—and that needs to change.

The Building Doors campaign is pushing for equal opportunities in voice-over, especially in male-dominated spaces like sports. We spotlight female voice actors voicing ads originally voiced by men, challenging brands and agencies to embrace gender diversity.
