Arnita is a passionate media professional and an up-and-coming television development executive. She has gained valuable experience working in content-focused and production settings across the U.S. and the U.K. Currently, she is excitedly completing her MSc in Media and Communications at the London School of Economics, where she explores audiences, identity, and how entertainment media shape culture.

Arnita is also the creator of Theory of Beneficence, a media analysis platform where she explores film and television through storytelling, character, and audience impact, with a special focus on how Black women are positioned within narratives. Her work encourages meaningful conversations about why certain stories connect with us, how development choices influence perceptions, and what it truly means to feel seen on screen.

With her background in newsroom operations, project management, and media production, Arnita is passionate about exploring how audience insights, creative development, and original programming come together. She’s excited about building a career focused on how stories are crafted, how audiences engage with them, and the powerful role of thoughtful storytelling in shaping culture.
