Meghan said: “The Geena Davis Institute and Moms First released this report and my husband and I, our foundation Archewell, helped to fund it because from our standpoint – certainly from mine – there are three key reasons why it felt vital to see the information they were going to be pulling through this report.
“On a personal level, I always loved understanding women and our stories and our lived experiences and our shared experiences, so I was really curious to see what the report was going to uncover in terms of…oftentimes women, the way we see ourselves is reflected back to us.
“Sometimes accurately and sometimes, much to our disservice, inaccurately in what we see in media. So to be able to have the findings to uncover what we can do propel that, to make sure women are really feeling seen in a way that is reflecting of who and how we are.”
