Meet our Spring 2025 Interns

Imani Charles: Outreach & Engagement Intern
Imani Charles is a recent graduate of The New School with a B.A in Culture and Media. She has a background in film production and is super interested in the intersection of media and advocacy. Imani believes in the power of documentary in fostering empathy and awareness, and was fascinated by Shine Global’s commitment to empowering children and amplifying unrepresented voices. She’s super thrilled to learn and grow as an intern this season!

Ashanti Sharrieff: Content & Marketing Intern
Ashanti Sharrieff is a doctoral student in Educational Leadership at the University of Lynchburg, currently based in New York. With a background in media production, she has interned at First Gen Content, where she worked on feature film projects, and at HBO Max, contributing to a variety of media content. Ashanti is also the founder of True Tone Collective, a media production company focused on creating impactful, culturally relevant content. She is excited to intern at Shine Global Inc. because it offers the opportunity to learn how a non-profit film company partners with filmmakers, brands and lawmakers to create impactful, educational content that drives legal and social change.
