I agree with Tiana and a large part of our work is with children and youth on understanding sexuality, sexual violence, rights and agency

It's so important to break these cycles of inequality early

this is so meaningful Tiana and Elsa, thank you for sharing and bringing attention to this. And to CARE for this conversation <3

as a mother of a 3 year old... THANK YOU for what you’re all doing!

we'll open up to audience question shortly! please feel free to drop in the chat.

How did these amazing women become who they are, with the confidence and resilience to accomplish all they have? Did they have mentors, adults in their lives who supported their growth?

One of the 12 Soci Circle stories is also centered around a Muslim girl ElsaMarie, for the reasons you described.

Can't wait to watch Soci Circle!

Thanks Jessica!

you can see the list of Soci Circle episodes here: https://socicircle.com/watch. They range from bullying, to hair removal, to military family, to dealing with a disability, to being made fun of because you "speak with accent"....and more!

Looks amazing, Tiana. Catherine, yes, so grateful for your influence at Disney, despite its complexity!

Love that ElsaMarie. Some of the difficult topics can be hard to start, so starting with challenging norms is helpful

yes!

Teaching girls to negotiate key life decisions is a true gift and necessity!

Question for the panelists — how and what can we provide girls in terms of support against backlash when they are re-defining their stories and futures and pushing back on social norms? ElsaMarie is touching on this a bit now, but curious if there is content around norm bending or breaking that Catherine and Tiana are also interfacing with

Good questions, Sarah!

Love that question Sarah!

Go, ElsaMarie!
