@MAGNOLIAGLOCK Awesome! Let us know if you'd like us to credit you on Instagram and if so what your handle is (feel free to comment here or message us). Thanks!

[About-Face @aboutfacesf]

@MAGNOLIAGLOCK Such a good point! Would it be ok if we share a screenshot of your thread on our Instagram? https://t.co/W70DzwVy8K. We're a nonprofit that teaches media literacy to teen girls and we think this is an important conversation to highlight!

Did you know only 5% of TV characters with a disability are actually played by actors with a disability? It's time to fix that, Hollywood. #RepresentationMatters #DisabilityPrideMonth #MediaLiteracy

Did you know July is #DisabilityPrideMonth? Want to expand your understanding of disabilities and become a better ally? These podcasts are a great place to start!

"Zoom and videoconferencing puts even more pressure on women to have polished hair and makeup at all times," - @bergerjen, About-Face Executive Director

Have you felt the Zoom fatigue and pressure to be "camera-ready" 24/7 this year?

Black Americans own less than 1% of tv stations, largely due to the industry's historical exclusionary policies and regulations. Media reparations would be one step forward towards ensuring the stories of Black communities are being told. #medialiteracy
