About this Event

BAM FILM FEST: Women In Film Panel Moderated by Niema Jordan

Niema Jordan is a journalist, filmmaker, and podcaster from Oakland, Calif. Her passion for writing and hip-hop led her to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism where she studied magazine writing and editing. Jordan’s early career was spent in New York as a health and relationships editor at ESSENCE Magazine.

With a desire to grow as a journalist and delve deeper int the health disparities plaguing the Black community, and Black women in particular, she returned to the Bay Area. Jordan received her Master of Public Health and Master of Journalism (with an emphasis in documentary film) from University of California, Berkeley. Her thesis film, Oasis, tells the story of a struggling medical clinic that treats underserved populations battling Hepatitis C. The film won the Spike Lee Student Filmmaker Award at the Denver Film Festival (2016). In recent years, Jordan has continued to write for national publications including ESSENCE, EBONY, and Glamour, while working in documentary film.

Her production credits include The Chosen Life (associate producer), Fatherless (associate producer), Bobby Kennedy for President (researcher) and The Force (impact producer). She is currently a story producer on an untitled mental health documentary series slated for a 2021 release and the host of the podcast, Fertility, Mothering, and Other Things.

Jordan serves on the Board of Directors at Reel Stories and Oakland Kids First. She is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
