CHC Breakfast:
The Mask You Live In
with Jennifer Siebel Newsom
Join Children’s Health Council and The Representation Project’s founder and film director Jennifer Siebel Newsom for an interactive discussion and viewing of the documentary: The Mask You Live In.
Compared to girls, research shows that boys in the U.S. are more likely to be diagnosed with a behavior disorder, prescribed stimulant medications, fail out of school, binge drink, commit a violent crime, and/or take their own lives.
CHC and The Mask You Live In ask:
As a community, how are we failing our boys and what can we do to help them? Take part in the conversation.

About the Presenters
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
Newsom wrote, directed, and produced the 2011 Sundance documentary Miss Representation.
In response to the film, Newsom launched MissRepresentation.org (now The Representation Project), a call-to-action campaign and media organization established to shift people’s consciousness, inspire individual and community action and ultimately, transform culture. She is currently writing, directing, and producing two documentaries, The Mask You Live In and The Great American Lie, which explore how our culture’s narrow definition of masculinity is harming our boys, men, and society at large.
Newsom is also an Executive Producer of the Academy Award nominated documentary The Invisible War, which exposes the epidemic of rape in the U.S. military. Newsom received both her B.A. and M.B.A. from Stanford University. She resides in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, and their three young children.
