Our take
Gender inequality over the last century has led to men having an unfair advantage in representation through film, television, books, and day-to-day life. Many women have channeled this inequality into their creative work, and it is important that these stories are heard.
Hello Sunshine provides a feminist online media platform, shining a light on film, television, podcasts, and other media formats created by women. The company also runs the female authorship Reese's Book Club, in addition to a newsletter and an online clothing store. Whilst the broadness of content formats Hello Sunshine promotes may present itself as a challenge to the company, it has unified its versatility with its exclusive focus on female authorship and creativity.
In 2021, the company was sold for over $900M to a media company backed by Blackstone. Since then, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Harden have continued to serve on the board and oversee day-to-day operations. The company is focused on changing and transforming the industry, promoting creators who have been structurally sidelined in the past.
