About Melanated Moni Productions & Photography

Hi, I’m Jem Puriti, the heart behind Melanated Moni Productions & Photography. What started as a passion for capturing real moments and telling authentic stories has grown into a space where creativity, culture, and community meet.

Melanated Moni was built to celebrate Black stories, raw emotion, and everyday beauty through film and photography. Whether I’m behind the camera shooting a scene or snapping a portrait, my goal is always the same — to create visuals that feel real, powerful, and true to who we are.

I believe representation matters, and every project is a chance to highlight the depth, talent, and resilience within our communities. From heartfelt films to expressive photo shoots, I pour my heart into every frame to make sure it speaks loud and leaves a mark.

This isn’t just production — it’s passion, purpose, and storytelling through a melanated lens.
