The Mocha Podcasts Network hit podcast Two Funny Mamas, co-hosted by award-winning comedic powerhouses, actresses, and TV personalities Sherri Shepherd and Kym Whitley, celebrate their third NAACP Image Award nomination. The award-winning podcast was highlighted for its episode, ‘The Legacy of Martha’s Vineyard,’ featuring Stephanie Rance, co-founder of the historic Run & Shoot Filmworks Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival (MVAAFF). During this episode, Shepherd and Whitley talk to Rance about the history of MVAAFF and its significance to the multiple generations of African Americans who travel annually to the island for camaraderie and celebration.

On Two Funny Mamas, Shepherd (also the host of the nationally syndicated EMMY-award-winning talk show Sherri) and Whitley blend their comedic power to deliver a podcast that speaks to culture, sisterhood, moms, and working women everywhere. Nothing is off limits when these two funny ladies get together to talk about life, love, motherhood, singleness, relationships, dating, pop culture, sex (or the lack thereof!), and everything in between. Two Funny Mamas has proudly received two NAACP Image Awards: “Outstanding Lifestyle and Self-Help” (2022) and “Arts& Entertainment” (2023) with producer, Chris Denman, and Mid Coast Media Group, LLC., and executive produced by Sheila Eldridge on the Mocha Podcasts Network.

MVAAFF is the brainchild of Rance and her husband, Floyd. For twenty-two years, thousands have descended upon Martha’s Vineyard during their highly venerated film festival celebrating storytellers of color. During this multi-day event, independent and established African American filmmakers can showcase, screen, and promote emerging feature, documentary, and short films from around the world.
