Become a Honey Insider

We’re not waiting for permission.
We’re saying yes to ourselves.

We are HONEY CHLE. We're a new, independent, boutique media + entertainment company speaking with love to an underserved audience: Black women 40+. “Honeys” as we like to call them.

Founded by award-winning filmmaker and television writer/producer Felicia Pride and led by an all-Black-woman team, HONEY CHILE is on a mission to:

Tell bold stories for, by, or about Honeys. Everything from genre to grounded to YA and in between.
Challenge Hollywood’s limited, traditional ways of operating as we look to create innovative models for the development, production, marketing, and distribution of content.
Hold the door open for others and equip Honeys with the tools to transition into the industry.
Remind Hollywood and the world about the power that’s cultivated when underserved communities tell their own stories.

And we’d love for you to join us. Become a Honey Insider.

For a one-time contribution of your choosing, starting at $25.00…
