Hi Kayla,
I notice you are adjuncting at Brooklyn College this semester. I am the Women's Studies librarian and wanted to be sure you knew about the CUNY-wide trial we have of the database Films on Demand. You may want to point students in your Introduction to Women's Studies: Sex, Gender, and Power class to this film:
What's Your Point, Honey? Young Women Prepare for Leadership

Currently this trial is available only on campus, but if you and your students find it useful, we can ask for a subscription for on-campus and off-campus access.
Hope this and other library resources are useful for your classes. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Regards,
Beth Evans
