Tracey Edmonds, a dynamic, multi-dimensional entertainment industry veteran, with a proven track record of success across multiple content platforms, has established herself as an award-winning producer, savvy business mogul and accomplished studio executive who oversees the development and production of projects for both diverse and mainstream audiences. She has created and produced groundbreaking projects for television, film, and music both independently and with major studios. Edmonds currently serves as COO and President of Our Stories Films; CEO and President of Edmonds Entertainment; CEO and President of Alright TV; and was recently named as Co-Host of “Extra” (NBC Studios/Warner Bros.), alongside Mario Lopez and Charissa Thompson.

Edmonds made her formal entry into the entertainment industry in 1993 with the creation of Edmonds Entertainment Group, a multi-million dollar enterprise actively involved in all aspects of the entertainment business. Edmonds Entertainment quickly succeeded with the critically acclaimed hit film “Soul Food,” which earned five NAACP Image Awards. Additionally, the LaFace soundtrack for the movie, of which Edmonds served as Soundtrack Executive Producer, was a multi-platinum bestseller. Continuing on that successful path, Edmonds went on to produce other films for Edmonds Entertainment such as the romantic comedy “New in Town” starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. and “Good Luck Chuck,” starring Jessica Alba and Dane Cook.

Edmonds’ latest projects include the hit series “Deion’s Family Playbook” on OWN TV (Oprah Winfrey Network) – now in its second season – for which she serves as show creator, executive producer and talent; and Lifetime’s “With This Ring” (starring Regina Hall, Jill Scott, and Eve), for which she fulfills the role of executive producer. With Our Stories Films, created by BET Founder Robert L. Johnson, Edmonds released, NAACP Image Award winner “Jumping the Broom.” Through Our Stories Films, Edmonds also launched Alright TV, an inspirational, faith-friendly YouTube Partner Channel in March 2013. The channel features hit series and collaborations with such talent as Michael K. Williams, Issa Rae, Deion Sanders, AJ Johnson, Chef Brian Hill, and comedy sketch groups Dormtainment and The Playmakers (www.youtube.com/alrighttv).

Edmonds’ earliest television successes were in reality series production. She executive produced the groundbreaking reality show “College Hill,” the first African American reality program on BET and its spinoff “College Hill Interns,” “Lil’ Kim: Countdown to Lockdown” and “DMX: Soul of a Mon.”

In the scripted television arena, Edmonds produced the serialized version of her hit movie “Soul Food,” an hour-long dramedy for Showtime, which ran for five seasons and won multiple NAACP Image Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series three years in a row.

Edmonds has won numerous awards for her achievements in the industry, including Ebony Magazine’s Outstanding Women In Marketing & Communications Entrepreneur Award (2002); an award from Girls, Inc.

Always looking to give back to the industry, Edmonds serves on the Board of Governors for the Producers Guild of America (PGA), where she chaired the Guild’s annual Celebration of Diversity gala for three years in a row, and most recently co-chaired the PGA-hosted Produced By Conference two years in a row. She also serves on the Board of Trustees for the American Film Institute (AFI); she is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; and she serves as a Global Ambassador for CARE, a leading humanitarian organization that works to fight global poverty.
