Bio
Erica L. Taylor is a documentary producer and advocate dedicated to justice and
opportunities for the underrepresented. A native of St. Louis, MO, her work in
film, television and radio has allowed her to connect and tell the stories of
legends in entertainment. A graduate of Spelman College, Erica is an impact
documentary filmmaker with a spiritual focus on women’s issues and
socioeconomic disparities. Drawn to visual storytelling, she produced
multiple episodes of the NAACP award-winning network television docuseries
Unsung and Unsung Hollywood for the TV One network. She is also credited
with starting several podcasts, including Vegan Sexy Cool hosted by New York
Journalist Jacque Reid. In 2019, Erica produced two films under The Invisible
series, including The Invisible Vegan and The Invisible Mermaid, projects that
led to her personal documentary, Red Alert: The Fight Against Fibroids, aimed
at giving visibility to the vast number of black women suffering from uterine
fibroid tumors. Having survived reproductive health trauma, Erica is now an
advocate for women’s health under her own Red Alert Project brand and
served as the National Ambassador for the Fibroid Fighters Foundation. In 2022,
the Red Alert Project received support from Myovant Sciences and was named
an official community partner under their Uterine Health Guide. In addition, Erica
was selected to serve as a member of the Uterine Health Advisory Board- a joint
venture of Myovant Sciences and Pfizer, Inc. The research, impact and
experience from her production work has led to countless appearances and
speaking engagements in the U.S., including St. Louis University Medical
School, Morgan State University, Spelman College and the University of
Cambridge in London.
Erica is dedicated to the advancement of documentary producers through her elected service as President of the Documentary Producers Alliance, an international nonprofit. She recently led the
organization's rebranding efforts and looks forward to furthering their initiatives
toward producer equity and sustainability. She is an active member of the Video
Production Advisory Board at Collin College in Dallas, a member of Brown Girls
Doc Mafia, The Video Consortium and the Global Impact Producers Alliance.
Erica is proud to be of further service to the community as a member of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. In 2023, she was a recipient of a full
scholarship to the Looky Looky Pictures Guided Campaign program for Impact
Producers.
