Hi, everyone.
I just wanted to take a minute to check in.
What we are seeing right now from the war to extreme wealth inequality.
All right, hold on a second.
What we are seeing right now, from the war to extreme wealth inequality to immigrant families being torn apart to the extremely hateful and divisive rhetoric online, should have us all worried.
And if there's one thing about me, it's that when I witness something that is unjust or wrong towards women, children, and families, I cannot stay silent.
online should have us all worried.
And if there's one thing about me, it's that when I witness something that is unjust or wrong towards women, children, and families, I cannot stay silent.
My entire life's work has surrounded the notion that we need more human decency in this world.
Through courage and through speaking truth to power, through standing up for women, for children, for our common humanity.
My first documentary unveiled how the patriarch, vis-a-vis the media, was holding women in leadership back.
My second looked at the boy crisis in America and how our culture is failing our boys.
Media has played a huge role in devaluing the feminine and uplifting the masculine, and not always the better elements of either, because there's power and beauty in both.
But technology is the new backlash to gender equity and gender justice, and it's on steroids, mostly because it's in the hands of those who wish to profit at all costs and return us to a time when women and girls had no power, no voice, and when men and boys were told that they could not express the emotional nor caring parts of themselves.
Now, as a society, shouldn't we strive to help people realize the entirety of their humanity, to see the goodness in humanity in others, to value kindness, decency, and respect, to treat others the way we want to be treated?
It's on us to build systems that reflect those values.
Yet right now we live in a world of values.
reflect those values.
Yet right now we live in a world that values profit over people.
We live in a world where hate and fear perpetuate division and power being held in the hands of only a few.
