#SeeHer is a collective of producers, directors, advertising agencies and marketers, those who seek to represent women and girls authentically so that archetypes of success are empowering and not driven by the perceptions of success drawn by other populations. For eight years now #SeeHer has been awarding an outstanding promoter of this important emerging ethic.
