Representation for Marginalized Women in the Media with Soraya Giaccardi

Published: Dec. 23, 2020, 1 p.m.

My conversation today with @sorayagiacarrdi was nothing short of revolutionary! THIS is a call to action: start supporting women in the media, for equal and authentic representation. Behind and in front of the camera. From studios promoting women to the executive level, to movie goers, and streaming service consumers (that's you and me). Women need to tell their own stories. The numbers are there, we can see the inequities. NOW let's change that.
