Happy National Archery Day! Did you know that movies like “The Hunger Games” and “Brave” led to more girls participating in archery? What we see on screen can inspire people of all ages to pursue new opportunities and discover new interests, including Geena herself! She became a competitive archer in her forties!

Good luck @sheetal_archery, you are inspiring the next generation of archers! 🏹 #seeitbeit

As we mark our 20th Anniversary, we’re celebrating the momentous progress we’ve achieved together. When Geena started the Institute, she was surprised by the lack of female characters in children’s programming. By 2022, female leads made up more than half of lead characters in shows popular with kids ages 2 to 11. When children see themselves reflected on screen, they know that they can do anything, and be anything. Help us maintain this progress for the next 20 years by making a donation at the link in our bio. #GDI20 #seeitbeit
