Lights, camera, inspiration! Teyana Taylor is bringing her bold creative vision to the 25th Tribeca Festival for a special event celebrating women in film and storytelling.

The multi-hyphenate star will take the stage for a talk presented by Through Her Lens: The Tribeca CHANEL Women’s Filmmaker Program as part of Tribeca’s Storytellers Series on Sunday, June 7, at Spring Studios in New York City.

Taylor, who recently joined the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee alongside powerhouse names including Jane Fonda, Lucy Liu, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington, Olivia Wilde, and more says the mission behind the initiative feels especially personal to her.

“Joining the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee with Tribeca and CHANEL felt personal to me because I know how powerful it is when women are given the space, support, and confidence to fully step into their vision,” the Golden Globe winner said in a press release.

“That’s what Through Her Lens is about, empowering women to tell bold, honest stories in their own voice. I’m proud to be part of something with CHANEL that’s creating that kind of lasting impact,” she continued.

During the discussion, Taylor will draw from her experiences both in front of and behind the camera, reflecting on carving out her own lane in entertainment, building an authentic creative voice and creating opportunities for the next generation of female storytellers.

The conversation will also spotlight the importance of mentorship, representation and creative support systems in helping women shape the future of film on their own terms.

“Teyana Taylor has never waited for permission to define herself. She’s built a career on instinct, originality and fearless creativity,” Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Festival Co-Founder, said. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome her to Tribeca and to the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee. I know her artistry and perspective will resonate with so many women and storytellers.”

Tickets are available on the Tribeca Festival website and submissions for the 2026 Through Her Lens Program open today.
