A Super Heroine
Women, especially women of color, have faced centuries of undervaluation, lack of protection, and neglect. However, in 2024, a significant shift is occurring, prompting the big question: why? This documentary embarks on a journey to uncover the stories of millennial LGBTQ+ women who are defying the odds and taking control of their entrepreneurial experiences. These women have bravely packed up their lives, relocated to new cities or states, and built communities that enable them to thrive. By belonging to multiple marginalized groups, they have courageously defined their identities and pursued their happiness on their own terms.
Through profound discussions on courage, resilience, and success, this documentary aims to inspire women everywhere to invest in their own mental autonomy and break the glass ceiling for future generations. These stories highlight the importance of self-determination and community support in overcoming systemic barriers. By showcasing the journeys of these trailblazing women, we hope to ignite a movement where women across the globe feel empowered to challenge the status quo, embrace their true selves, and create lasting change in their own lives and beyond.
