From the yard to a full-time offer, Ssuuna McKitty is that guy. 🎬✨
EICOP alum and Morehouse College graduate Suuna Kitty just landed a full-time role at Sony Pictures, and we could not be more proud.
A Business Marketing major from Chicago, Illinois, Ssuuna came into EICOP with a vision and left with a career. During his time at Morehouse, he interned at Lionsgate (creative development and marketing), Paramount (marketing and distribution), and Warner Brothers (creative development), all before graduation.
He also screened two of his own films at EICOP showcases, because yes, he is also a director and writer.
What makes Suuna special isn’t just the resume. It’s the mindset. He calls himself the Black Panther: part business, part creative, fully himself.
His name, Suuna, comes from a king in Buganda, and he carries that energy into every room he walks into.
This is what HBCU Futures looks like in action.
When students get access to the right rooms, the right mentors, and the right opportunities, they don’t just enter the industry. They shape it. From applying as a freshman and refusing to take no for an answer, to signing a full-time offer at one of the biggest studios in the world, this story is proof that preparation, persistence, and program support change lives.
Congratulations, Ssuuna. The industry is ready for you.
