The Worst Advice I Ever Got...

Women have been given terrible advice for, well… forever. Advice on how to act, how to look, why not to stand out, and, of course, how to succeed. It’s time we destroyed these ridiculous rules and show what happens when you actually do the opposite of what people expect.

In partnership with award-winning filmmakers, Lucy Walker and Nicola Marsh, and Merman Productions, we shot a series of funny, smart, and timely short films starring female comedians and celebrities who challenge the awful advice that’s been handed down to them by their families, friends, and colleagues for generations.
