Ova Media Group is a premium streaming platform and production company created for and by women of color. We build the stage. We tell the stories. We own the narrative.
Ova Media Group was born out of a clear gap in the marketplace. At the time, there was an overwhelming volume of content being produced — but very little of it reflected authentic, purpose-driven storytelling or served audiences that were often overlooked and underserved.
The industry was heavily driven by trends, algorithms, and short-term gains — leaving a void for meaningful, emotionally grounded, and culturally relevant programming. Powerful stories were not being told with integrity. Independent creators lacked true distribution pathways. And audiences were craving content that healed, inspired, and connected.
Rather than waiting for the industry to evolve, Cassandra Cooper made the decision to build a platform that could do it differently. Ova Media Group was co-founded alongside an early-stage business partner during its initial formation phase. As the company evolved, so did its leadership — and today, Cassandra leads the company's vision, strategy, and growth as its sole executive.
From original films and television series to talk shows, documentaries, the Ova Viva Latin Division, and our Starformercial production arm — every title and every initiative at Ova Media Group exists for one reason: to create content that matters.
Ova Media Group content is accessible across multiple platforms — keeping our audience inside the Ova ecosystem wherever they are.
Cassandra Cooper is a producer, entrepreneur, and media executive who built Ova Media Group from the ground up with a singular, uncompromising vision: to create a premium media home for stories that the mainstream industry consistently overlooked.
She identified the gap early — an industry flooded with content but starved of authenticity, cultural relevance, and purpose. Independent creators had no real distribution home. Underserved audiences had no platform that truly spoke to them. Cassandra didn't wait for the industry to catch up. She built the stage herself.
Co-founded with an early business partner during its formation phase, Ova Media Group transitioned into its current leadership model under Cassandra's sole direction as the company scaled. Today, she oversees the company's content strategy, platform growth, partnerships, and expansion across Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, iOS, Android, and the web.
"Ova Media Group wasn't created because the industry needed another company — it was created because the industry needed a different voice. I saw incredible stories being overlooked and audiences craving something real. That was the moment I knew — I wasn't going to wait for change, I was going to build it."
— Cassandra Cooper, Founder & CEO
Ova Media Group is not a side project. It is a media company built to scale — expanding distribution, building strategic partnerships, and producing original content that defines culture. We are positioning for the next level: broader reach, premium partnerships, and a platform that stands alongside the major players in streaming.
