Miss Representation: Rise Up is headed to DC/DOX Film Festival this June!
More than a decade after Miss Representation sparked a national conversation about media, gender, and power, Miss Representation: Rise Up continues that work for a new generation. The film examines how AI, algorithms, online harassment and rapidly evolving digital platforms are shaping the voices and lived experiences of young women and girls today.
We’re honored to bring the film to Washington, D.C. as part of DC/DOX, a festival dedicated to bold storytelling and timely conversations at a moment when these issues matter more than ever.

Media literacy helps us see what’s really being shown, and what’s being left out.
When we question the narratives around us, we can start to shift them.
Support better representation. Create something new. Choose differently.

Miss Representation: Rise Up is headed to its world premiere this June at the Tribeca Festival in NYC! @jennifersiebelnewsom newest film expands on her acclaimed 2011 documentary, Miss Representation, by examining the rising backlash against women’s progress and the online hostile landscapes designed to harass and, ultimately, silence women. The Tribeca Festival runs June 3-14 in NYC.

The algorithm learns from what gets engagement.
What you like. What you share. What you save.
Flood it with something better.
Post content that reflects who you actually are.
Not what the platform rewards.

It takes courage to speak about violence and abuse, especially for women who experienced that violence as girls and are now bravely coming forward. The women who have shared their stories are in our hearts.
When survivors speak out, it helps more women, girls and boys name the painful truths that exist in our culture. We still have a serious problem with men in positions of power causing harm to women. The headlines over the years have made that impossible to ignore.
Abuse of power cannot be excused. Too many have caused real and lasting harm, and to those men, we must be willing to say: no more.

True strength isn’t about being unbreakable—it’s about choosing respect, care, and equality. When men embrace gender-equitable masculinity, women gain space to lead and thrive, and men gain freedom from narrow expectations. Let’s flip the script on strength together.

Michelle Obama’s new book The Look explores how personal style can reflect who we are—our identity, purpose, and values. Through a richly illustrated journey, she shows how fashion becomes more than what we wear. It’s how we lead, communicate, and take up space.
Every choice tells a story. And that story can be one of empowerment, inclusion, and leadership.
How are you using your “look” to lead and inspire?

Want media that reflects real life and real people? Start with your choices. Every time you create, share, or support something that challenges stereotypes, you help shift the culture. #gender #equity #representationmatters
In 1991, Anita Hill testified before the U.S. Senate, bringing national attention to sexual harassment in the workplace. Her courage challenged norms of silence, shifted public conversation about power and accountability, and inspired many women to come forward.
Decades later, her legacy stands as proof that change often begins when someone dares to speak truth to power. #womenshistory #representationmatters
In October, 1993, Toni Morrison became the first Black woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her novels were praised for their visionary power and poetic depth, illuminating the experiences and inner lives of Black Americans.
Morrison’s work redefined American storytelling, proving that representation through art shapes how we understand history, identity, and each other.

In October 1904, Mary McLeod Bethune opened a school for Black girls, planting the seeds for generations of leaders. Her work reminds us that access to education is the foundation of true representation. Through her vision, she not only empowered women to take their place as leaders and change-makers, but also built an institution that continues to inspire progress today.
