media literacy for girls

Celebrating local Women's Achievements - Katherine Gordon and Brie Mathers

Celebrating 2 amazing women who in their own ways challenge the system.

Katherine Gordon is founder of the 3 Percent Conference.
Here is what they do:
"Until The 3% Movement came along, only 3% of all U.S. Creative Directors in advertising were women. In a world where women influence upwards of 80% of consumer spending and 60% of social media sharing, this is business suicide. Through a mix of content, community and professional development, they've helped raise the number of female Creative Directors to 11% while giving agencies a clear road map of ways to champion female creative talent and leadership."

And Brie Mathers founder of Love the Skin You're In, a movement to teach young girls media literacy, to challenge advertising, and what Hollywood feeds us as "the truth".

Thank you Katherine and Brie for inspiring us and making real change!

Brie Mathers of Love The Skin You're In

The inspiring Brie Mathers of Love The Skin You're In came to speak at my school last week. She spoke about being strong when watching social and print media and not to accept everything that is directed at us. She also encouraged us to be kind to ourselves as well as be good friends to each other.
Thanks Brie for being a fantastic role model. I really enjoyed meeting you!
