Martha Blanding is the first Black Disney Parks employee inducted as a Disney Legend (2024). Starting with the company in 1971, Martha became the first ever full-time Black Tour Guide at Disneyland, the first Black female in management at Disneyland, and the co-founder of PULSE, a resource group for Black cast members. She’s also an official pioneering producer of the Official Disneyana Convention, a forerunner of today’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Tim O’Day is a producer, publicist, and consultant, and a popular host you have likely seen on such popular series as Behind the Attraction, live at D23 events and so much more.
In this episode, I chat with Martha and Tim about Martha's career and their latest book, Groundbreaking Magic, available for purchase October 1, 2024.
