She’s That Woman

My friend, Eitan Chitayat, an Israeli Jew, has been featured on our site several times before.  You may remember him from his amazing work that we featured here and here and here. My favorite is his epic piece, ‘Shalom, Motherf*cker.” And another must see is a video he posted about the rise of anti-semitism here.

Eitan reached out to me some weeks ago to give me the scoop on a new project he’d been working on with a colleague of his – a tribute to and celebration of women.  He described it as a “love letter” to women.  “It’s not political – it’s not left, it’s not right,” he said.  And he asked if he could feature a snippet of us in it.  And, even though we’ve never met in person, he still GETS me enough to know that if he teased me with a particularly delicious detail about the project – the fact that Wendy and Lisa (yes – THAT Wendy and Lisa who were part of Prince and the Revolution) agreed to write the original score for it – it’d be a done deal.

And now? The project has been completed.  An 8+ minute video montage tribute to and celebration of women from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all points of view.  And amongst women of great prominence and accomplishments and fame, there we are, arguably the Queens of Dorkdom, captured at the 2.45 minute mark (during our appearance on the Huckabee Show), included in his love letter.

It’s a great honor, because Eitan is a great man.  He and I disagree on a lot, but agree about the fundamental things that make us humans, and I cherish every single virtual conversation we have.

Watch here:

Here’s his own description pulled from the YouTube page:

We made this piece as an expression of our deep respect and admiration for women. All women.

Mothers. Sisters. Daughters. Wives. Heads of households. Heads of state. Executives. Pioneers. Thought leaders. Essential workers. Activists. Entrepreneurs. Problem solvers. Engineers. Athletes. Performers. Educators. Authors. Artists. Moguls. Scientists. Sociologists. Physicians. Economists. First responders. The list doesn’t stop.

We created it for no other reason than we wanted to – and we could. And we’re releasing it with no special women’s day in mind because, to us, every day is a day to celebrate women. We hope that maybe, with all the division between people right now, this simple message that honors all women, is one everyone can get behind – together.

Even though we’re able to shine a spotlight on around 300 women here, we know it doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the 4 billion+ women who help shape our world for the better every day.

If you’re a woman reading this, know that you’re here in spirit. And to you and every single woman who’s ever walked the Earth, we present this to you on behalf of all men who feel how we do:

We see you. We hear you. We respect you. We thank you. We revere you.

Always with love, Eitan Chitayat and Dana Satterwhite

Eitan should be the World Czar Of Unity, because there’s no one I know of who has a gift of bringing people together better than him.  I mean, think about it.  We are in the same video as Ashley Judd, you guys, and I ain’t even mad.  Enough said. 🙂

Many thanks to Eitan for including us in this extraordinary piece!
