Explore Professor Laura Zaylea’s award-winning project, Stori Strong, at its Philadelphia premiere!
Stori Strong follows the journey of an imaginative, donor-conceived girl who loves telling everyone about her two-mom family in this episodic series for kids in LGBTQ+ families!
The project was designed to highlight family diversity and foster age-appropriate conversations about donor-conceived identity.
This screening will feature all 5 episodes, followed by a Kids Talk Media Podcast led by Professor Sherri Hope Culver.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Media Studies and Production, the Center for Media and Information Literacy and Philadelphia Family Pride, this screening is perfect for families or those interested in children’s media, childhood development, LGBTQ+ media, gender studies and more.
This is a family-friendly event. Kids and families are welcome! Snacks and refreshments will be served.
