IN THE CULTURE
Join us! Motherhood Live!
We’re gathering on Monday (1/26) with Moms First for Motherhood Live—a live conversation about culture, power, and the myths used to dismiss mothers. Icons are on the lineup! Including living legend Gloria Steinem.
Register HERE and we’ll see you on Monday!
According to recent media narratives, the real danger isn’t broken systems or failed leadership. It’s “organized gangs of wine moms” — women who are standing up, speaking out, and refusing to stay quiet. It’s meant to sound ridiculous. And it is. But it’s also deliberate.
When women show up in public and refuse to be silent, ridicule is always the first line of attack. Labels are used to shrink us. Jokes are used to dismiss us. Panic is manufactured to push us back into our place.
But we know better.
Join Reshma Saujani, Ilana Glazer, Emily Oster, Anna Malaika Tubbs, Gloria Steinem, Katie Bethell, Shannon Watts and hundreds of other moms for a live conversation decoding the cons meant to shrink moms’ voices.
Hoops, Hopes & Dreams premiered this week on Hulu.
The untold story about how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and an all-star team of civil rights activists took to basketball courts to rally young voters while winning hearts of communities, and how their strategy has echoed in contemporary politics. Hoops. Hopes & dreams was the last project of our friend the late Michael Latt, and was brought to life thanks to the tireless determination of Glenn Kaiko (Director, Producer), Michael’s parents and the Michael Latt Legacy Fund, Jesse Williams (Producer), and others.
Its an inspiring and hopeful reminder in these times of uncertainty and heartache.
Twigg & Jenkins!
