Embracing Unabashed Visibility as Women Leaders [Credo #4] 18:46

40m ago18:46

18:46

Women’s voices have been and continue to be culturally dismissed and discouraged. Women are very rarely quoted in science and financial journals, as well as make up only about 25% of all of the people who are quoted as experts in the news media.

1:03:08

We've covered films by Studio Ghibli's second-most famous director twice before, though one of those times it we were discussing a pre-Ghibli work of his.

Amplifying Women’s Voices to Reshape the Future [Credo #3] 14:46

7d ago14:46

14:46

Every woman has an instance in her childhood where her voice was ignored. Maybe she was told to be seen and not heard, maybe she was looked over in class to speak, or maybe she was told to take up less space. This cultural bias against women’s voices needs to be put to an end, and it starts with us supporting one another and speaking up to affirm a…

41m ago13:47

13:47

“Deals are made on the golf course.” “Your network is your net worth.” How often have we women heard these phrases throughout our lives, only to be scolded or warned against doing these same things that men are encouraged to do?

14d ago18:04

18:04

In a world where women leaders are still facing immense challenges and criticism, our role as advocates for each other has never been more important.

Oswald is a character originally created by Walt Disney, but who has long since been run by other directors, still creating shorts right alongside the much more popular Mickey Mouse series.

2M ago38:34

38:34

Walt Disney famously hated sequels, though this wasn't an opinion he always held. At one point in time he was all for creating sequels to the hit cartoon Three Little Pigs, but when each short proved to be diminishing returns (at least financially), it contributed to his dislike of the concept of sequels. But looking back at this, the 2nd sequel in…

Some pieces of media — be they cartoon shorts, feature length films, or even whole seasons of television — are worth watching a particular moment.
