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 CEO of Jenevesque Media and the founder of The Next Gen Come Up.

I started my first charity initiative at just 5years 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 multimedia and impact work has always centered on themes of kinship, cultural memory, and patriotism through the eyes of marginalized identities. My ongoing mission is to use cinema, immersive media technologies, and digital storytelling 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.
