Shedding Light on Gender Inequality in Film

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

My project Shedding Light is about using film and media as catalysts for cultural transformation. I intend to inspire individuals and communities to challenge and overcome limiting stereotypes so that everyone - regardless of gender, race, class, age, religion, sexual orientation, ability, or circumstance - can fulfill their human potential.

More information about Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media: Founded in 2004 by Academy Award Winning Actor Geena Davis, the Geena Davis Institute is the only research-based organization working collaboratively within the media and entertainment industries to increase the representation of six major intersectional identities: gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, disability, age 50+, and body type onscreen. We work every day to mitigate unconscious bias while creating equality, fostering inclusion, recognizing intersectionality, and reducing negative stereotyping in the industry using research and data. Our theory of change is simple: one of the most powerful ways to immediately impact the stubborn issue of inequality - in all sectors of society - is to change what people see in popular content. Our motto is, "If they can see it, they can be it."
