Growing up, I didn&#8217;t see movies with characters that looked like me or shared my experiences. I&#8217;m determined to change that, not just for myself, but for everyone who is misrepresented. I&#8217;m honored to have been able to share my message with everyone on the TEDx stage.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just teens who are misrepresented on film, media, and TV. TEDx Speaker Elyssa Fernandez also shares: \u201cthe representation of marginalized communities in film is often offensive, inaccurate, and harmful &#8211; and the stereotypes are everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Elyssa Fernandez\u2019 TEDx talk, you&#8217;ll learn more about her unique idea, <i>The Litmus Test for On-Screen Representation<\/i>, a simple, three-step formula that will transform the narrative about representation, inclusion, and diversity in movies and film.<\/p>\n<p>Fern\u00e1ndez also unpacks the 5 most common stereotypes of teens in film, with specific examples of what movies are doing wrong, why representation really matters, and what people everywhere can do to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>To watch her TEDx Talk, click HERE, or type \u201cElyssa TEDx\u201d on the YouTube search.<\/p>\n<h3>About Elyssa Fern\u00e1ndez:<\/h3>\n<p>Elyssa Fern\u00e1ndez is a 19-year-old filmmaker, artist, and entrepreneur.
