ATLANTA - May 12, 2014 - PRLog -- In our effort to hold true to the WIFTA mission, WIFTA strives to support our members, helping them to network with one another and to showcase the vast talents and capabilities that they possess. This month, we focus our Member Spotlight on Carol Blackmon.

Carol Blackmon is a highly accomplished media professional. She has hosted several local television shows and currently host her own show on Atlanta's Majic 105.5 / 97.5. We recently caught up with her for a quick interview and got a glimpse into her world. She was very candid when it came to opening up about what it takes to be respected and to have staying power as a woman in the entertainment industry: "In an industry that can be so superficial, it is important to be yourself and come from a real sincere place. People know when you are not being sincere, when you really don't care, and it is just a job…"

Women In Film & Television Atlanta has been Georgia's foremost entertainment organization is support of women since 1974; Blackmon, who has 30+ years in the entertainment industry, has been a WIFTA member for just under a year but has supported it for much longer than that. "I had been saying for some time I was going to join WIFTA, telling one of my friends, BJ Arnett every year was "the" year. I am excited that I have finally become part of this incredible organization and anxious to see what the horizon holds."
