The problem? Women, non-binary, and BIPOC people are underrepresented the media & production industry.

The solution: Provide student’s with tools, training, and mentorship to help advance the footprint.

How it happens:

Student Training: We partner with local colleges on production projects to build student networking & experience.​

Educator Training: Rock What You Got™ staff helps educators with limited resources close gaps in their media/production curriculum to set underrepresented students up for success.

The problem? A lack of unity between gender equity organizations limits Minnesota’s ability to move the needle for gender equity.​

The solution: Facilitation of common goals and shared resources will maximize community impact.

How it happens: Fostering a place for community and connection, Rockstoria Studios is a place to unite and create shared goals. Reduced nonprofit and education rental rates are offered to support affordability. The space is also donated year-round to support others on their impact journey.

The problem? An array of gender gap challenges live within the shadows of society.​

The solution: Shine light on gender gap challenges through awareness and community education. Do it in person. Further that with digital reach. Make it accessible. 

How it happens: 

Live Shows (in-person outreach)
The Pay Gap Comedy Series makes moves showing up at venues around the Twin Cities. These live shows clap back at the gaps in society to influence social change with audience engagement. Women produce and populate the show lineup. That’s rare – did you know it?

The given name ‘Pay Gap’ nods at women earning 82% of what men do, but the series makes room to spread awareness about connecting topics. Be it technology, education, or economy, closing a gap becomes critical to alleviate resource hardship for families, especially women.

Podcast (digital outreach)
The ‘We’re Gonna Talk About It’ Podcast educates listeners on focus topics surrounding society gaps from the comfort of home.
