Occupy Cultural Media

Check out this short film encouraging people to take back childhood, pushing companies that promote sexualized media, marketing, and products to stop sexualizing children. This is the kind of positive, cooperative activism that we need to get corporate attention. My favorite part of this is the section on role models. There are so many amazing leaders in every area out there for us to share with our children. Let’s focus on sharing those stories and move away from this worship of the culture of celebrity.

 

About Jennifer Shewmaker

I'm a professor of psychology at Abilene Christian University and have been working with families and children for the past 15 years. I'm deeply concerned about the way that sexualized media messages are impacting children and adolescents. It's my goal to provide families and children with resources to become voices of transformation in the world around them.
