WAM! LA’s first presenter, Kamala Lopez, and her film, A Single Woman, about the first woman in Congress and lifetime pacifist, Jeannette Rankin, are showcased in the EXCLUSIVE: Women’s History Spotlight at the Women’s Media Center. It was the research for this film that motivated Lopez to begin the ERA Today campaign which she presented to the Veteran Feminists of America in Dallas 2 weeks ago (see my post from March 19, 2010).

Jeannette Rankin and Kamala Lopez are inspirational role models for all of us. Please read the full article at Women’s Media Center.

I had such a fantastic time presenting at Women, Action and Media (WAM) in LA on March 25th, 2010.  I curated a show of online videos including remixes, vlogs, vids and short documentaries made by women.  Staying true with WAM’s mission, these videos represent women taking action through media to talk about issues important to their lives and talking back to the media that so often misrepresents, stereotypes and victimizes us.
