Connect: The #rightsideofhistory

For brands in 2020, being on the right side of history is more important than ever. Between COVID-19, racism, gender equality, and more, so many are facing turbulent times.

Create: From Miss Ann to #karen

This Producer/Filmmaker focused panel explores the impact that 2020 has had on our art and our lives, specifically at the intersection of race and gender. We will look at how film and video content can highlight and explore the connections, commonalities, and tensions between White women and Black women, throughout American history. For many of us, these issues are far from new, but has 2020 truly opened an opportunity, through storytelling, to create a new narrative that can lead to a new mindset and to new action?
