won the Audience Choice Award at its premiere at Independent Film Festival of Boston in April, and it continues to screen at festivals, organizations and schools. Small hopes the film will inspire discussions about gender bias in the debate world—and beyond. It has been my struggle, my whole life, trying to find a voice that I felt comfortable with—that wasn’t alienating, but at the same time, wasn’t apologetic. I’m still navigating that. But Girl Talk was a way for me to look at—when do girls, young women speak up or begin to shut down?“The world of debate provided a unique environment in which to compare and contrast different preconceptions about confidence, perceptual dominance, and the like between girls and boys,” said Small.
So it’s interesting what we think of as formal, successful public speaking. I mean, personally, right now, as I am doing this interview, I’m nervous about whether I will I come off confident and articulate enough? Will I be too cocky, too apologetic? It’s always with me, the second guessing.No, not with you. I feel trust and I feel comfortable because we know each other, but in an interview and even up on stage, I’m always wondering.
