72 Meaghan Martin - Rejecting the Hollywood Power Dynamic and Finding My Self-Worth

In this powerful exclusive interview, Hollywood teen sensation Meaghan Martin, star of Disney Channel's Camp Rock and Mean Girls 2, talks about the challenges she faced as a child in an adult world. She questions why she was told as a seventeen-year-old girl by 50 year-old directors and network executives that she didn't matter and that she was an inconvenience. She asks why they thought that was an acceptable choice and what it says about the power imbalance inherent in an industry where a small group of people wield huge power over your career. Across the acting industry and in sports, people are starting to speak out more and more about this power imbalance, especially with regard to the treatment of children, and what we need to do differently to create nurturing and safe spaces, and to avoid physical and psychological harm. Now she is breaking new ground on the London stage, recently starring in the critically-acclaimed 'Smoke' at Southwark Playhouse, Meaghan's is a powerful message that needs to be heard so we can build a better future for young people.
