WELCOME. WE’RE GLAD YOU’RE HERE.
THEY SAY, SURROUND YOURSELF WITH WOMEN WHO WILL SAY YOUR NAME IN A ROOM FULL OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Our goal here is simple, help women who work in unscripted media create meaningful connections with other women who will shout their names in rooms full of opportunities.
THIS INDUSTRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARD AND LATELY IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S GOTTEN NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.
Unscripted media has the highest percentage of women behind the camera (yay), but it also has the lowest pay, no unions, and very few workplace protections (boo).
As our industry goes through a big shift we started to brainstorm what we can do to make positive change. Data shows that meaningful relationships and strong communities are key to both professional success and personal happiness. Yet, most women feel traditional networking is broken.
With that in mind we built the Unscripted Women's Network, an organization dedicated to fostering better relationships and community for women who work in unscripted media.
We know that when good people come together amazing things happen.
We also know that 80% of jobs come from personal networks. Likely more in our freelance heavy industry.
Whether you are here looking to expand your network for better job opportunities, to make new friends, learn a new skill, or get support for all that other life stuff - we are here for you!
A rising tide lifts all boats so let’s work together to raise these boats so high they flood our industry with opportunities for us all.
