Whitten-Griggs served in positions of increasing responsibility at the Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards for eight years where she was most recently publicity director (2009-2016). She was also formerly BET’s senior director of corporate communications, where she spent eight years directing public relations strategies and execution for the network’s original entertainment programming, series and specials.
