Gia'na Geral
Gia'na Geral is a certifiable force of nature who simply will not be denied. With an extensive background as a writer, producer and director, she's a force to be reckoned with. Her intellect, creativity, and charisma inform her storytelling and her leadership in the studio and on the set – so it's no wonder she's the glue that holds Radio Silence together and keeps us on the straight and narrow.
Gia'nia brings nearly six years of producing and co-hosting a nationally syndicated talk radio show for millions of listeners; and twenty-five years in the areas of writing, directing and film production to the table.
Over the last decade, she co-produced, wrote, and/or consulted on numerous indie film productions, Hollywood projects, celebrity autobiographies, and self-help books, music videos, and business ventures.
As a writer, her accomplishments include authoring essays & a show transcript in the 2006 New York Times Best Selling, "The Air America Playbook" anthology, alongside other Air America radio personalities such as Rachel Maddow.
As a director/filmmaker, she produced six short 16-35mm films written and directed between 1989-90, in the guerilla filmmaking era that fostered recognition in a roll call among other top female filmmakers of the 90's in "Black American Cinema" by Manthia Diawara and "Deep Sightings & Rescue Missions: fiction, essays, & conversations” by Toni Cade Bambara - edited by Toni Morrison.
In 2011-13, she joined Holocaust survivor Eva Kor, filming an international mission of peace — from the Middle East to Eastern Europe.
She continues working in radio, presenting and producing the "And You Don't Stop," segment PEPR; syndicated in eight markets across the US, with a large international audience.
