Y’all, it’s already been a YEAR since our first SPARK Summit in NYC! I can’t believe it! Luckily just yesterday we recovered this amazing video full of clips and highlights from the Summit, so now I can watch it and relive what an awesome day it was. You should watch it too—and if you dig what you see, consider hosting a Summit in your own community

Killing us softly - Advertising image of women

Jean Kilbourne’s pioneering work helped develop and popularize the study of gender representation in advertising. Her award-winning Killing us Softly films have influenced millions of college and high school students across two generations and on an international scale. In this important new film, Kilbourne reviews if and how the image of women in advertising has changed over the last 20 years.

Love Jean! If you haven’t seen this yet, you MUST.
