In this episode of the Telly Awards podcast, we dig into equitable representation in media with Madeline Di Nonno, CEO of Geena Davis Institute. For the past 20 years, the institute has pioneered groundbreaking research on the life-changing impact of representation. By exposing and exploring the interconnected identities often marginalized in the media, their work reinvents, transforms and inspires how global content creators tell stories. How far has the film industry come in representing women, people of color, the disabled, overweight people, LGBTQIA+, and adults over the age of 50? Representation “still falls short,” according to Madeline di Nonno of the Geena Davis Institute. In this podcast episode, we dig into their 2024 study of G, PG, and PG-13 films with budgets over $10 million. For example, women starred in just 35.3% of leading roles. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this episode of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, host Kathi Sharpe-Ross kicks off the year with an inspiring conversation featuring Madeline Di Nonno, President and CEO of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. Madeline shares how a turning point in her career—when two significant life events collided—pushed her to reimagine her path and embrace Reinvention. She reflects on leaving behind a successful corporate career in entertainment to lead a mission-driven organization advocating for inclusion and representation in media. The conversation explores the challenges and rewards of career transitions, the impact of research and AI on gender bias in storytelling, and the importance of staying adaptable in a rapidly evolving world. Madeline's story reminds us that the most transformative moments often come from life's biggest disruptions. Whether you're navigating your own Reinvention or looking for inspiration to start the year with purpose, this episode offers powerful insights and actionable wisdom to set you on the right path. Key Takeaways: Reinvention often begins with a moment of discomfort—embrace it as an opportunity. Life rarely unfolds in a straight line; sometimes, challenges lead us to the most meaningful paths. Take stock of what truly matters to you and let that guide your decisions. AI and technology are reshaping every industry; staying curious and adaptable is non-negotiable. Reinvention is not a one-time event—it's a mindset that you can revisit whenever life calls for it.

"Having power doesn't have to dilute others power; in fact real power amplifies it." ~ Rochelle Marie The landscape of leadership is changing. Gone are the days when a strong arm and a directive attitude were the only definitions of power. In this episode, we peel back the layers of traditional "masculine" power to explore a more balanced, humane approach to leadership. This one's for you if you're looking to redefine your own concept of power and step into leadership roles with authenticity and grace. In this week's episode you will learn: Questioning Traditional Forms of PowerLeadership is evolving, and many career-focused women are seeking alternative forms of power that don't rely on an 'I'm the boss here' approach. We explore the limitations and drawbacks of this one-sided view of power, especially in a rapidly changing world where adaptability and collaboration are becoming increasingly crucial. The Landscape of 'Masculine' and 'Feminine' TraitsSociety often pegs traits like decisiveness, authority, and analytical thinking as "masculine," while labeling empathy, collaboration, and emotional intelligence as "feminine." We delve into why these categorisations exist and how they influence our perceptions of leadership. Understanding these biases can help us navigate towards a more balanced, effective form of power. The Balancing Act: Integrating Diverse TraitsLeadership isn't about being entirely 'masculine' or 'feminine'; it's about the harmonious blending of these traits into a holistic leadership style. We discuss the real-world application of integrating these traits, from being self-aware to amplifying others' unique abilities, leading to effective and humane leadership. Practical Steps for Embracing Balanced PowerThe journey to redefining power in leadership involves both introspection and action. We talk about practical steps like coaching and mentoring, dismantling limiting beliefs, and mindfulness practices that can help you tap into your innate wisdom and redefine your approach to power.

In March 2020, Facebook, now known as Meta Platforms, struck a deal to buy augmented reality displays from British firm Plessey, aiming to develop AR glasses and compete with Apple. However, the development of Plessey's technology has stalled, and Meta has struggled to make the displays bright enough and reduce defects. As a result, they abandoned Plessey's microLED tech in favor of an older display technology. This decision, along with others, has diminished the AR glasses' edge over competitors like Microsoft's HoloLens.Meanwhile, Microsoft is introducing AI-powered beauty filters from Maybelline in its Teams video conferencing platform. The filters, developed in collaboration with the Geena Davis Institute, offer virtual makeup looks to enhance users' appearance during meetings. Though beauty filters in professional apps raise concerns about mental health and body image issues, the feature is rolling out to global Microsoft Teams Enterprise customers.In the entertainment world, Fox launched a reality TV show called "Stars on Mars," featuring minor celebrities and former athletes as "celebronauts" competing in a "Survivor"-like elimination series set on Mars.

A lot has happened politically and culturally since this podcast launched eight years ago. In this anniversary episode, I celebrate a number of wins while also reflecting on the importance of learning from history to avoid repeating past mistakes. For example, Lee Grant, an Oscar and Emmy-winning actress, overcame being blacklisted during the anti-Communist era. Her resilience and courage in speaking out against injustice serve as a lesson for today. I also highlight the work of The Geena Davis Institute on Gender and Media, which has expanded its focus to champion inclusion of the six major identities of gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, disability, age 50+, and body type in media and entertainment. In addition to looking back on some of Advanced TV Herstory's episodes from the past year, I celebrate ATVH's inclusion in IMDb and the anticipation of reaching a new audience. Because ATVH is not beholden to sponsors, I can proudly say that I provide an unfiltered view of both historical and current obstacles to full representation and valuation. Many of these obstacles are at the center of the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild and the use of artificial intelligence. With a commitment to recognizing the importance of representation and critical thinking in the face of rapidly changing media landscapes, I thank you for your support of this podcast over the last eight years and I look forward to uncovering and sharing more untold stories of women in the year to come.

For STEM professions, male characters outnumber female characters two-to-one (70.2% / 29.8%). 5: In live action, female characters account for most of the screen time (58.7%) and speaking time (58.8%), higher than any previous year. Two-thirds (62.6%) of children's TV episodes pass the Bechdel-Wallace Test 6: Children are being trained to harbor unconscious biases from a very young age. Tweens consume up to 6 hrs media a day, while teens up to 9 hrs (Common Sense Media). 7: The Geena Davis Institute found an alarming degree of sexualization in kids' tv. Now sexualization is a descriptor thrown around a lot. Still, in essence, it boils down to representation wherein a person's value is primarily or even entirely derived from their sexual appeal - or, as they write: ‘when physical beauty is equated with sexiness, when sexuality is inappropriately imposed on someone, or when a person is sexually objectified.' The results were concerning. There was an emphasis on physical appearance for women. Female characters were almost twice as likely to be better than average looking or stunning (37.9% / 18.9%). They wore more revealing clothing and were more likely to be shown as partially nude. 8: Another study found that female characters in kids' tv were more likely to use magic to solve their problems in children's tv, while male characters were more likely to use STEM skills or physical strength, which set troubling ideas for what women can achieve in reality, as well as potentially limiting men's prime attributes to the physical. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/childrens-tv-study-diversity-1.5118385 9: This all sets up disturbing tropes and expectations of real girls and women. 10: An alarming experiment discovered that gender biases were present in really young kids because when they were asked what they would be when they grew up, the level of ambition was so much higher in boys and, even worse, when asked what they'd be grown up as another gender, a girl came up with more options while a boy said ‘If I was a girl I'd have to be nothing' despairingly. These biases are being taken to heart unconsciously and very young. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Geena Davis is an actor, archer, advocate, and all-around badass! She made her feature film debut starring opposite Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. She went on to star in many films including The Fly, Beetlejuice, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Stuart Little, A League of Their Own, and The Accidental Tourist for which she won her first Academy Award. She was again nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe for her performance in Thelma & Louise. Geena is also the Founder and Chair of the non-profit Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which engages film and television creators to dramatically increase the percentage of female characters and reduce gender stereotyping in media made for children 11 and under. In 2019, Geena was honored with a second Oscar, this time the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in recognition of the work Geena has done over the decades to achieve gender parity on screen in film and television. She is now recognized for her tireless advocacy of women and girls nearly as much as for her acting accomplishments.  In this conversation with Jay, Geena discusses her activism in Hollywood, as well as her latest book, Dying of Politeness: A Memoir, where she chronicles her "journey to badassery" and makes a powerful case for why Hollywood has a crucial role to play in promoting women's rights around the globe.  Please find a transcription of this episode: https://allaboutchangepodcast.com/podcast-episode/geena-davis/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Geena Davis, the star of such seminal movies as Tootsie, Beetlejuice, Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own and the underrated classic, The Long Kiss Goodnight, TURNED UP AT MY ACTUAL HOUSE to record a witty, warm and fascinating conversation.*We talk about her feelings of imposter syndrome and self-doubt in the early days of her career, the fact that her failure as a model led to her first film role alongside Dustin Hoffman (who gave her incredible advice on how to defend herself against the amorous advances of her male co-stars) and the revelation of being diagnosed with ADD in her 40s. Along the way, we touch on height (she's 6ft! A tall woman like me!), the #MeToo movement, representation, almost becoming an Olympic archer, being an older mother and the seismic impact her friendship with Susan Sarandon had on Davis's life.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 14! Most people like a good joke, but when it is harmful or demeaning, or there is a pattern of a specific target being laughed at instead of laughed with, then it can lead to reinforcing stereotypes and power dynamics. This is what has happened to Asian Pacific people in the U.S., and being the target of jokes desensitizing the impact with audiences and normalizes mocking of AAPI individuals. Today we take time to talk about some key moments when AAPI people were made to be the joke in movies or by comedians, celebrities, and athletes. There's some great work done by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. One of their studies was done with Gold House and the Coalition for Asian Pacifics in Entertainment called I Am Not a Fetish or Model Minority: Redefining What it Means to Be API in the Entertainment Industry.

Today, we are joined by writer and stand-up comedian: Rebecca Kohler. She has written for television shows like Working Moms, Schitt's Creek and Kim's Convenience. Rebecca shares how she paved her way through the comedy industry. We also talk about her days as a chocolate thief, why she is addicted to making people laugh, and get her thoughts on "And Just Like That". 40% Facts began as an inside joke on a girl's road trip to NYC. This series features four creative women, who we like to say, each bring 10% to the table. In alphabetical order; Annabelle Agnew is a wedding & portrait photographer. Suzanne Bateman is a streetstyle and glamour photographer. Emeline Villedary is a landscape painter. I'm Angelique Gay, a writer and podcast host. ___________ Rebecca Kohler's website: https://www.rebeccakohler.com/ “When not writing for television, Canadian Comedy Award winner, Rebecca Kohler, takes to demolishing stand-up stages in both Canada and the US. Balancing an innate benevolence with a tongue like an acid attack, Rebecca has the ability to dissect the darkness of life's truths while maintaining a cheeky adorability. With a focus on connecting as humans and an aversion to low-hanging fruit, Rebecca Kohler's stand-up will educate, comfort and eye-open all while inducing laughter. If you find yourself groaning while watching her, Rebecca asks you to remember that she is not offensive, but that life itself is offensive.” ----------------- For the facts on representation of women over 50 on the screen, read this: Geena Davis Institute on Women Over 50: The Right to be Seen on Screen: https://seejane.org/research-informs-empowers/women-over-50-report/ ----------------- INSTAGRAM LINKS: Rebecca IG: https://www.instagram.com/rebkoh/ Annabelle IG: https://www.instagram.com/annabelleagnew/?hl=en Suzanne IG: https://www.instagram.com/suzannebatemanphotography/ Emeline IG: https://www.instagram.com/emelinevilledary/?hl=en Flipflops IG: https://www.instagram.com/flipflops_podcast/?hl=en Angelique IG: https://www.instagram.com/angelique_d_g_/
