Wocstar Media is making waves from its New Jersey headquarters, positioning the state as a hub for innovative storytelling and content production. Recently, the organization announced Randy Donaldson as the 2026 Wocstar Media Fellow in a press release distributed from Marlton, NJ, near Cherry Hill, reflecting its deep local roots. Wocstar Capital, the parent company, has previously issued official statements from Voorhees Township, further confirming New Jersey as the central base of operations. As the creative and content-driven arm of Wocstar Capital, Wocstar Media’s mission is to elevate diverse voices and narratives that are reshaping finance, entrepreneurship, media, and entertainment.
At its core, Wocstar Media is committed to connecting communities through stories while empowering creators to craft work that inspires, educates, and drives meaningful impact. The organization focuses on inclusive and underrepresented storytellers who leverage innovation and lived experience to influence culture in transformative ways.
A central component of Wocstar Media’s operations is supporting creators. Programs like the Wocstar Media Fellow program offer mentorship and resources to emerging artists and entrepreneurs, giving them the tools to bring bold visions to life. Content production is another key pillar, with original projects like the flagship podcast VC’s Off the Record offering rare, behind-the-scenes perspectives on venture capital through conversations with diverse founders and investors. These stories highlight challenges around power, access, and ownership while inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs.
Education is equally vital to Wocstar Media’s mission. Through the Wocstar Academy, the organization delivers courses, webinars, and mentorship on topics ranging from raising capital to impactful storytelling for entrepreneurs of color. The educational component ensures that creators not only produce meaningful work but also gain the business and leadership skills necessary to succeed in competitive industries. Complementing these initiatives, the Wocstar Media Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, channels contributions directly into projects and organizations focused on inclusive storytelling and entrepreneurial training, broadening the impact of the organization’s work.
Wocstar Media’s content spans a variety of mediums, each designed to amplify human experience and innovation. Their theatrical productions have supported critically acclaimed works, including the 2022 Tony-nominated Broadway revival of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf and Thoughts of a Colored Man. Fellows are currently developing original intellectual property for Broadway, creating a direct pipeline for emerging New Jersey talent to reach national stages.
In film and video, Wocstar Media backs filmmakers such as Nicki Micheaux, creator of the 2024 feature Summer of Violence, while also producing educational video content for its YouTube channels and the Wocstar Academy. The organization also champions multimedia and social impact projects, like Lyrics from Lockdown, a theatrical hip-hop and multimedia production that explores contemporary cultural themes. In publishing, Wocstar Media engages with authors through initiatives such as “Lunch n’ Learn” webinars, guiding creators on transforming written works into film or television projects and curating book lists relevant to diverse entrepreneurs.
Wocstar Media’s mission extends beyond storytelling. By integrating film, theater, multimedia, and education, the organization strengthens New Jersey’s cultural footprint while providing a platform for underrepresented voices to reach national and global audiences. Through a purpose-driven approach, Wocstar Media demonstrates how storytelling, entrepreneurship, and innovation can intersect to create meaningful change, all from the heart of New Jersey.
