At the Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA), our mission is to teach people about social discernment—the ability to recognize manipulation, power games, and social dynamics that keep people stuck or controlled. But we’re running into a problem: many women aren’t excited about learning social discernment because they’ve been taught that if someone manipulates or abuses you, it must mean there’s something wrong with you—like you’re weak or “not enough.”

We want to challenge that narrative completely. We believe that learning to see through social manipulation isn’t a sign of weakness or self-doubt—it’s part of a long history of liberation movements. From civil rights to gender justice to community activism, people have always needed to see through power to protect themselves and to stand up for each other.

Especially now, with so many recent political events—from police violence to public gaslighting to political strongmen who use charm and fear to manipulate the public—people feel powerless, and it’s easy to internalize that feeling as shame or personal failure. But social discernment offers a way to channel that sense of powerlessness into clarity and collective action. Learning about the narcissistic tactics used by abusers—whether in personal relationships or on the national stage—shows that these manipulations aren’t random or personal weaknesses. They’re patterns that can be seen, named, and ultimately countered—making social discernment both deeply personal and profoundly political.

Create a two-minute animated educational video that reframes social discernment from the outdated “abuse education” narrative—often associated with images of powerless, insecure women—and instead frames it as a form of social martial arts: a disciplined, empowering practice for reading power plays and staying agile in a world full of hidden pressures. Your animation should tap into the widespread feeling of powerlessness that people are experiencing right now and channel it into a story that shows social discernment as a tool for regaining agency and navigating social dynamics with independence and precision.

• A storyboard that outlines the key scenes and visuals in your video.
• A clear, concise script that repositions social discernment as a practice of personal and collective power.
• Visual assets and character designs—these can be created in easy-to-use software (like Canva, Animaker, or similar) and we will provide access to basic templates and materials to help you succeed.
• Voiceover and sound design—you’ll record or commission simple, effective audio to bring your message to life (we’ll provide a budget for this).
• A final two-minute animated video—professional in impact and message, but created using tools and assets that make the process achievable for your team.

Key Notes:

• The end result should look and feel professional, but you can use any software or assets that make it straightforward and accessible.
• We’re providing templates, resources, and a small budget for music and visuals so you can focus on the story and message.
• Don’t worry about complex animation software or custom drawing—your main goal is a compelling, high-impact video that’s clear and polished.
