Dearest Board Members & Supporters, It has been an extraordinary year for We Do It Together! Some projects have been completed; some have gone into post-production. ONE OF US Last year we embarked on the journey of filming ‘One Of Us’ Season 1, where we showcased 4 successful Italian women who chose to build their careers in the US. It was a great success and because of that, for season 2 we expanded to other cities in the US including New York, Los Angeles, and Washington DC. ‘One Of Us’ was produced by Frequency Production, The General Consulate of Los Angeles, and the Italian Embassy of Italy in Washington, DC to support the mission of We Do It Together, which is creating gender parity through the tool of movies and media.

Season 2 consists of 2 episodes: East Coast and West Coast.

The East Coast episode premiered on March 8th, International Women’s at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, in the presence of the Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and Oksana Markarova, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States. This premiere was dedicated to the women of Ukraine.

‘One Of Us’ gave us the opportunity to bring awareness to the mission of We Do It Together. In this interview with Amy Paffrath, the Director Chiara Tilesi talks about the gender gap, using social media in a positive way, and female empowerment.

As filmmakers, both men and women, we all are responsible for the DNA of our culture. The strength of our society lies in its diversity and we believe that the time has arrived for all of us to make a choice and go beyond the paradigm of the past and embrace the future. Please reach out to us if you would like to be more involved in our cause. We would like to thank each of you for your great support as we continue to spread our message that gender parity is the rule, not the exception! All the best! We Do It Together Team
