Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen

Women’s representation in media and entertainment has come a long way, but there's still much to be done, especially for women of color and mothers. Social media's omnipresence has raised the stakes, creating an often dangerous environment which has led to serious mental health issues for teenage girls in particular. On International Women’s Day, we’ll hear from visionary female leaders at the forefront of news, media, entertainment and philanthropy who are breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and working toward a healthier society on and off our screens.
This panel includes: feminist and champion of human rights and gender equity, New York Times bestselling author, and co-founder of The Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex; Emmy Award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Katie Couric; two-time Golden Globe Award-nominated actress, model, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author Brooke Shields; and author, sociologist, pop culture expert, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant at Peoplism Nancy Wang Yuen. Moderated by host of The Amendment podcast and founding Mother and Editor-at-Large for The 19th News Errin Haines.
This session is presented by The Archewell Foundation and The 19th, the national nonprofit newsroom reporting on gender, politics and policy.

It would be an interesting series to hear similar... viewpoints and representations... from men of their time, from say current 40 yo of this time, from psychologist or researchers, etc. Empathy building. Aloha!
