Uninvited

A half-hour digital news program highlighting the successes and struggles of everyday working women.

Talk Series (Working Ontario Women)
2021-2022  |  24 × 30m

We worked with nonprofit Working Ontario Women (WOW) to develop Uninvited, a 24-episode digital news program. Each half hour episode is split into three segments: a round-up of the hot news topics of the week, an in-depth primer on a specific issue faced by female identifying Ontarians, and a one-on-one interview with the experts, stakeholders and women fighting for change in their communities.

Developed in response to the growing gap of female voices in Ontario media, we created this digital platform to help amplify women’s voices on every day issues - like our economy, our policies and our education - as an inspiration for change and call to action for our political parties.
