Brooklyn Savvy

Brooklyn Savvy is a community-produced talk show that gives voice to social issues from a woman’s perspective. It is about diverse women talking about what's important in their worlds and the world at large. Cut from tough-as-silk New York cloth, Brooklyn Savvy emerged from a tiny experiment into a program watched on cable, Vimeo, and YouTube by tens of thousands of people on a regular basis, and the current online audience spans the globe. The heart of Brooklyn Savvy is the diverse, smart,(street, life and book smart) driven women that comprise the panel and guests of the show. After three years of production, Brooklyn Savvy TV has cultivated an outstanding library of content featuring prominent, interesting and inspiring leaders.
