John Marcotte, the founder of Heroic Girls (heroicgirls.com), will be speaking about his work advocating for strong role models for girls in alternative media — particularly comics, and identifying and changing harmful gender stereotypes and marketing practices amongst toy manufacturers and clothing companies. Marcotte and his work have been featured on the TedX stage in California, building on research in confidence and body language. He has also lead movements to encourage major retailers such as Target to be more inclusive in their selections of action figures and other toys traditionally marketed to boys.
