Introducing Dominant Stories with Jess Weiner

Jess Weiner has over 20 years of experience creating impactful discussions and shifting perceptions around body image, representation, beauty, mental wellness, and self-confidence. She’s helped Fortune 500 companies become more inclusive and culturally fluent, including as a partner behind Dove’s “Real Beauty” campaign, and helping to evolve Barbie by adding more body shapes, skin tones, and hair types. Dominant Stories has stemmed from Jess’ personal and professional mission to help people challenge the external (and internal) voices that are holding them back from living the life they desire and deserve (think: “I’m not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough,” etcetera). Throughout the series, Jess and her esteemed guests discuss how the media, culture, and the people in our lives all help to create these stories, and how they’re learning to rewrite them. You'll hear from people shaping our culture like Author Lori Gottlieb, Actor Debby Ryan, Activist Azure Antoinette, and Singer/Songwriter Sara Bareilles (featured in this trailer) about the stories that shape them! Along the way, you'll also get some practical, tactical advice for how you can challenge and change your Dominant Stories.
