Dove’s Inspiring short film
September 20, 2017
I was inspired by Dove’s latest short film, "Meet Diana." It tells the powerful story of Diana Wright, a mother and school teacher, who reclaimed her confidence after the loss of her leg in a car accident. In a three-minute video, produced by Shonda Rhimes and a 100 percent female crew, Diana talks about how she called on her inner strength to learn how to walk again. Since posting on YouTube September 12, the video has more than 1.6 million views. Click on the video below to view her amazing story.

P&G’s Powerful Ad: “The Talk”

P&G’s Powerful Ad: “The Talk”
I was struck by a powerful video Procter & Gamble released as part of its My Black is Beautiful campaign. Called “The Talk,” P&G shows scenes of black mothers across several generations talking to their children about the bias they will experience in society because of the color of their skin. I applaud P&G for sparking dialogue around this topic. At the end of the video, they even encourage everyone to #TalkAboutBias.

If you haven’t seen this emotional video yet, you can view it here. It has already amassed over 80,000 views.
