Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. Millions of people all over the world to date have seen this inspiring film. For more information about the film, please visit http://www.missrepresentation.org/the-film/.

The Be You campaign embraces and celebrates the individual.  It combats the negative and limited mindset portrayed in the media and the perpetuating beliefs in our society that hinder our appreciation of ourselves. It's time to de-program and reconnect with our individual strengths so that, together we live more fulfilling lives. For more information visit www.beyoucampaign.com.
