Activist, Actor, and producer Erika Alexander

Erika Alexander is a producer of the film "Good Trouble."

John Lewis: Good Trouble

An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

About Erika Alexander Producer of the documentary "Good Trouble."

Erika wears many hats – actress, trailblazing activist, entrepreneur, creator, producer and director – and is one of the country’s boldest, most daring, and powerful voices. As a creator, she recognizes the power of storytelling. And she believes that though content must be entertaining, when carefully constructed, stories have tremendous capacity to create impact and meaningful social change. As co-founder of Color Farm Media, she is on a mission to bring greater equity, inclusion, and diverse representation to both media and electoral politics.


Color Farm Media, self-described as the “Motown of film, TV, and tech,” develops and produces scripted and non-scripted content for film, television, streaming and podcast platforms. Color Farm’s debut film, about the legendary congressman and civil rights icon, John Lewis: Good Trouble, won the NAACP Award Best Documentary and was nominated for three Emmy Awards.


Color Farm Media has produced the hit podcasts; Reparations: The Big Payback with Black Effect Network and iHeartMedia and Audible Original series, Finding Tamika, with Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s SBH Productions. Color Farm is rising, with several scripted film and television projects in advanced stages of development; including DC comic hero Xero,produced with 50 Cent’s G-Unit and Black Panther comic writer, Christopher Priest. Erika also previously co-wrote, with Joss Whedon, Buffy The Vampire’s first spin-off, comic series, Giles at Dark Horse. Erika also co-created and co-wrote the award-winning, ground-breaking sci-fi series, Concrete Park, also published by Dark Horse.


Erika has boldly stepped into the arena of film director, with her debut film The Big Payback co-directed with Whitney Dow. The documentary chronicles the story of the first reparations bill in American history for African Americans. The Big Payback premieres at the 2022 Tribeca film festival.


A critical thought leader on racial and gender equity and leadership, Erika’s work in content reflects her deep commitment to social activism. She serves as a board member for One Fair Wage and Exponent, and is highly involved with many other social and racial justice orgs, including; The Poor People’s Campaign, Color of Change, NAACP, UNCF, and others.
