Cassandra Cooper

Founder, CEO & Executive Producer

Cassandra Cooper is an award-winning media executive, producer, and entrepreneur with decades of experience spanning production, marketing, distribution, and studio operations. She has dedicated her career to creating platforms and opportunities for underrepresented communities — particularly women of color, independent creators, and storytellers whose voices have been marginalized by mainstream media.

Her work has been recognized by Forbes and major industry publications for her commitment to amplifying authentic stories. With a background that spans music, film, television, and digital media, Cassandra brings a rare 360-degree view of the entertainment industry to every project she leads.

As founder of Ova Media Group, she oversees content acquisition, original production, distribution partnerships, and platform strategy — driving the company's mission to be the premier destination for women of color in streaming media.

"We didn't wait for a seat at the table. We built our own. And then we made sure the door stays open — for every woman, every creator, every story that deserves to be told."
