Screenwriter and Content Creator, Lannetta Somerville is an Atlanta, Georgia native and Clark Atlanta University Alumni.
Through previous work as an entertainment blogger, and working independently on independent productions, Lannetta saw firsthand a disparagement of content disseminated on African American life.
Committing herself to changing the narrative of African American life in script and on screen, Lannetta Somerville created “Shacked”, an original web series, to promote and normalize the functional dynamics of black love and relationships.
“When we stop believing tragedy and trauma are inherent components of black life, we will begin to control our own narratives.”
