New #DreamBigPrincess initiative launches to coincide with International Day of the Girl.
Disney has launched a new global video series offering advice and inspiration on achieving success to kids around the world.
Launched to coincide with International Day of the Girl (October 11), the initiative is the latest part of Disney’s #DreamBigPrincess activity.
The #DreamBigPrincess video series – produced and directed by young women from the UN Foundation’s Girl Up programme including Bethel Kyeza from Croydon and Maud Webster from Norwich – shares the stories of trailblazing women across technology, entertainment, medicine, law, sports, arts, science, fashion and politics to show the next generation what’s possible if you dream big.
The roster of women sharing their tips for success include Kathleen Kennedy, film producer and president of Lucasfilm (pictured being interviewed by Maud Webster from the UK); actress Emily Blunt; British perfumer and entrepreneur, Jo Malone; and Karen Jonz, Brazilian skateboarder, designer and singer, among others.
Disney mentored the Girl Up Leaders from different corners of the globe as they captured the stories of a diverse group of role models in digital shorts. Each will be shared across Disney’s global media platforms www.disney.com/dreambigprincess as part of a campaign to unlock up to a $1 million donation to Girl Up, an initiative of the UN Foundation.
“The #DreamBigPrincess series documents a host of inspiring stories and diverse experiences but the common message is clear,” explained Zenia Mucha, senior executive vice president, communications at The Walt Disney Company, “Having a big dream is the first step on the path to success and positive role models are critical in helping you continue on that journey – whether that’s a fictional entrepreneur like Tiana or a real-world success story like any of the women in this series.”
