Based on the findings, I conducted a workshop to try to address the underrepresentation of women in the creative industries, where less than 33% of executives are women. We wanted to challenge the current discrimination and celebrate the success of women in leadership roles.

Join me as I share three inspiring women.

May
A university film professor by profession, multiple participant in the Cultural Inquiry into Women’s Identity Film, and collaborator on the Women’s Film Forum at the First Youth Film Festival in China, shares how she built her career, sharing that love is the law against all. Initially teaching film was based on interest, then later and then later, after studying for her PhD and shifting to the direction of literature and arts, the interest became a profession that she needed to face on a daily basis before she experienced the hardship. She considers this relationship to be a crucial part of her life and professional journey. Later, she kept trying to evolve the classroom into an immersive film experience, which also became a turning point in her own film studies. Later, May went to Beijing University to study at China’s highest institution. After completing her studies, she returned to school and began working on the development of women’s film studies, which she hopes will promote greater awareness of the stories created by the female gender perspective. At the recent 2021 First Film Festival Women’s Forum, she expressed her desire for the festival to be a true link between women’s images on screen and their personalities in real life.

Presentation.
Relax and keep learning as you go through life.

Keep learning, because learning and knowledge are key.
Be true to yourself.

Sonia

Sex Education Promoter. After graduating from high school, Sonia started a team of nine people to promote sex education and incorporated her company her sophomore year. Today, she has given over 40 talks in elementary schools, high schools, and colleges. The sex education lectures planned by their team usually last 1-2 hours and the content is not arbitrary, they have designed 10 sets of lessons for different age groups. The road to sex education in China has not been easy, but in 2019, Sonia was on the Forbes 2019 Elite Under 30 list, a turning point for Maylove and a strong motivation for sonia to persevere in the future.

Speech:
Along the way, from 9 people to 90 people now, from all of them being white to professional step by step now, they have survived the relapse of depression in their own mentality, the change of core members, the failure of countless project planning, the loss of no progress in each business no matter how hard they tried for a long time, and moreover the doubts they had about themselves when they had such countless setbacks. But the same is that they always adhere to the direction of promoting the status quo of sex education in China, the right direction, always out of a road. In the largely blank state of China’s domestic industry, even if they stumble and twist, each step is precious and valuable.

Zhen

Music Creator, Zhen’s work is connected to the “female perspective”. For many public figures today, support for women’s rights can be a facet of their persona, but it cannot be a permanent identity or label: public figures who repeatedly talk about women’s interests will soon be criticized by public opinion as maliciously taking advantage of the feminist dividend and thus “mastering the code of wealth. But outside of the flurry of voices, Zhen’s attitude seems to remain unchanged. Under her own microblog that was closed to comments, she wrote, “Girls, shine brightly in all your posts, shine so brightly that no one can’t see us! And these words are a true reflection of her participation in talent shows again and again for her music and moving forward all the way through the setbacks.

Speech.
When all this becomes “my” choice, my right, the subjectivity of “I” is established in this series of dynamics. Creation has always been seen as an important and necessary way for women to build their subjectivity and self-empowerment. Although patriarchal societies have always been wary of and tried to suppress women’s creativity, as generations of female creators have broken through, many of the tactics used to suppress women’s creativity have come to the brink of failure. As gender consciousness further evolves, more and more women are picking up the pens they were once barred from approaching and making their own cries to the world to trust that your intuition is never wrong. When it tells you something is wrong or very right, try to rely on that voice in your head.

Conclusion:

In this workshop, female power is the product of the combination of inner and outer feedback, which is laced with emotions and can bring a kind of power to anyone. So I wanted to explore the new era of women and try to portray women with different emotions. This will lead into my next intervention experiment, where I hope to give women a more relaxed sense of power through music in a light-hearted way. To be happy with me, to be true to myself, to feel female power, and to convey emotions.
