RUBY NEWS!

Ruby News! is the way I've come up with to get Ruby out there into the world... where she belongs... so she can do her thing!

Ruby’s thing has always had to do with what it takes to find *and share* your voice... no doubt because of my own personal struggle with it. Now as I find and share my voice, I do it with girls in mind. Because I imagine this:

I imagine how great girl voices combined with the power of well-told stories might help to balance and heal the world.

Imagine that.

Ruby’s Secret

by on March 2, 2011

 How is the feminine voice doing in the world today?

Movies are one of the most powerful ways we share our stories, so lets look at Hollywood.

Uh-oh…

  • Only 8% of film writers are women.
  • 86% of films had no female writers.
  • Women directed only 7% of the top films in 2009 (same as in 1987).
  • Only 4 women have received “Best Director” Oscar nods. Only 1 has won.*

Not good!

Wait.  Good news. Ruby’s Secret…

 

 

Great secret, right?  You can spread it if you want.

    dear J,
    lovely! What age group did you have in mind again? I was wondering if my nieces age 7.5 and 10 could participate.
    Love Janine
