Heartfelt and Humorous Film Changes STEM Caregiving and Success Narratives
To dismantle caregiving stigmas and influence lasting change, women in STEM share their struggles and strengths in a documentary film and multi-prong audience engagement campaign.
Caregiving disproportionately burdens women and carries stigmas that hinder workplace success. To change the narrative, two award-winning filmmakers will document the struggles and strengths of women in STEM in a heartfelt, humorous film and innovative social media shorts. Public screenings, facilitated reflection forums, train-the-trainer events, and other programming will frame caregiving as a universal, fluid continuum and urge organizational leaders to embrace and support employee needs - because supporting caregivers benefits us all.
