Big Ideas,
Real Impacts.

My name is Anya Dillard! I’m an award-winning community organizer and multimedia storyteller who has been disrupting narratives since 2008. I’m also the founder of The Next Gen Come Up and the CEO of Jenevesque Media LLC.

I started my first charity initiative at just 5 years old. I’ve since spent over a decade organizing around causes — including climate justice, reproductive rights, systemic racism — and working alongside impacted families across the country.

My work across mediums has always made a point of centering themes of kinship, cultural memory, and patriotism through the eyes of marginalized identities. My ongoing mission is to use cinema and short-form content to encourage people to prioritize emotional healing, socio-political education, and collective action.

I’m also an Academy Gold Rising and a Gucci Creative Fellowship alumn, and Teen Vogue, The Washington Post, and Elle Magazine have covered me for my creative activism.
