Miss Representation
I can’t wait to see this. One young student summed it up quite nicely, “There is no appreciation for women intellectuals in the media.” And it’s true. There isn’t. In the media, we see women valued for their beauty & their youth, which is fleeting. We get reality TV shows like The Real Housewives.. (of whatever) & Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and the women on these shows are narcissistic, and quite frankly, not that smart. They are preoccupied with shopping, socializing, instigating drama, and a whole lot of nothing. We can do better than that. Much better.
“MissRepresentation.org believes that all people should be equally represented in our media, that our voices should be heard and that we should all be valued for our talents, capacity as leaders, and ability to contribute to the world at large.” Hop on over to MissRepresentation.org for more info!
