Dear Men with Jason Rosario, a 2019 Yahoo News series, featured crucial conversations on topics from fatherhood to mental health. Jason, the founder and CEO of The Lives of Men and the Chief Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Officer of BBDO Worldwide, is a champion of healthy masculinity in and out of the workplace. When we spoke with him earlier this year, he shared, "This is fundamentally about creating stronger communities.” Check out our full conversation on YouTube: https://buff.ly/3Rlvmlm

About us
The Representation Project (TRP) is a pioneering movement dedicated to the power of transformative storytelling. We challenge the debilitating influence of gender stereotypes and norms, shedding light on the role they play in all forms of oppression. We work to awaken public consciousness, shift cultural attitudes, and transform behavior through impactful films, deliberate communications, education, and activism. Our mission is to build a world where all people can achieve their potential and be seen for their full humanity. Jennifer Siebel Newsom founded The Representation Project, a 501(c)(3), in 2011 in response to the overwhelming public demand for ongoing education and social action in support of her first film, Miss Representation. Since then, The Representation Project released Newsom’s second film, The Mask You Live In, and third film, The Great American Lie. The organization has become well known for creating popular social media activism campaigns such as #NotBuyingIt, #AskHerMore, and #RepresentHer.
