ConversationofConsequence_evite_photoConversation of Consequence with Girl Scouts San Diego

Friday, March 21

Two sessions will be offered (Select one):

9-10:30 a.m. complimentary light breakfast, or

11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. complimentary light lunch

 

Join us for a panel discussion at the Girl Scouts North Coastal Service Center for Conversation of Consequence focusing on the PBS transmedia project Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide.

 

Filmed in 10 countries, Half the Sky follows journalists Sheryl WuDunn and Nicolas Kristof, plus celebrity activists America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde, as they tell the stories of courageous, inspiring individuals.

 

The linked problems of sex trafficking and forced prostitution, gender-based violence, and maternal mortality (every 90 seconds, a woman dies giving birth) present opportunities for change. Through health care, education, and economic empowerment for women and girls, women around the globe are seizing opportunities to confront oppression and fashion meaningful solutions. Invitation to follow.

Why is KPBS important or valuable to you?

Six years ago we cut ties with the cable company and decided that we were going to take a proactive role in our consumption of media. Since then KPBS has become invaluable to us. We truly appreciate and take advantage of any available touchpoints of access. From Twitter feeds to live radio to podcasts, we’ve created customized KPBS experiences and are now more informed than ever before. 

 

What is your favorite show/program?

Access to information and entertainment through technology is paramount in our lives. As entrepreneurs, we often work odd hours and love that we’re able to listen to Radio Lab at 6 a.m. on a Tuesday or sneak in a few minutes of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! while driving to a lunch meeting. We are avid travelers and are always listening for our next international inspiration from Marco Werman. In the middle of a jungle, half way around the world, we can catch up on local news and events with just our smartphones.  

 

What topics are you interested in talking about with other Young Professionals?

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting many KPBS members and staff and would love to meet even more who share these common interests. It is so important for young professionals to play an active role in supporting KPBS so that it can remain strong for years to come. We rely on KPBS to stay informed and entertained and understand that KPBS relies on us to contribute to its longevity.
