The Mask You Live In Conversation at You Belong Here

On Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019, You Belong Here held a film screening of The Mask You Live In, produced and directed by Jennifer Newsom (California’s First Lady). We had a packed house! The turnout was great! Following the film was a panel discussion led by Stacey Edelstein of Raygun Creative, Sarah Schairer of Compassion It, Francis Donald of Bro Active, and Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus, Sexologist, Sociologist, Author and Speaker.

We had a remarkable Q&A with our audience. What we found to be most interesting was the concept that a majority of audience members asking questions, sharing, and challenging the views outlined in the movie, were men! SCORE!

Here are some resources for reference and for further education and awareness.
