Melora Rivera

Melora Rivera has carved a path toward producing and directing her own material with years of industry work on television and feature film projects. Transitioning from reality and post work, Melora joined the Akil Productions team in 2011 for Sparkle (Sony), moving onto The Game (2012-13) and Being Mary Jane (2013-15) where she climbed the ranks to acquire her first solo writing credit with "Don't Call It A Comeback." Following the Akil's overall deal with Warner Bros in 2016, Melora was promoted within the company to Director of Development for both their film and television projects. The company's first sale in this deal, Black Lightning, solidified her new role. In its second season, the superhero drama is The CW's number two show on the network and heralded by critics. In her most recent position as VP of Production, Melora wrote and produced on both Black Lightning as well as Love Is ___ (OWN), which premiered June 2018. Repped by Joshua Edwards of Pierce Law Group
