Why Representation Matters w/ Comedian Madelein Murphy

Comedian and Speaker Madelein Murphy explores the concept of representation in American media starting in the 1960s with Gene Roddenberry’s “Star Trek” through the present day. The phrase “representation matters” has become popular in the past decade, but what is representation and how does it affect our daily lives? Why is it important in children's, young adult, and adult media?
Madelein, who sold an LGBTQIA+ network pilot in 2020 and was a member of the Writers Guild of America, answers these questions and more. For mature audiences only.
