Full Circle Streaming and Digital were approached by Team Highlight Skydiving team to collaborate with creating and producing three demonstration jumps that are being broadcasted and stream online through social media. This piece commemorates the origins of the team where we understand their purpose and mission for female empowerment for this 100 year anniversary of the 19th amendment.
The idea for Team Highlight was born from learning about the tenacious and fierce women who led the women’s suffrage movement 100 years ago securing the right to vote for women in America. The idea was to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the 19th amendment in a way no one could ignore or could soon forget.
Our question.. How could they use skydiving to capture attention to magnify this message? How could we use skydiving to inspire women and girls to live bold brave lives of their own design?
Highlight started with a simple brainstorming call with the Women’s Skydiving Network (WSN) that got us on the track of doing one big demonstration jump in Nashville on August 18th, 2020, 100 years to the day that passage of the 19th amendment came down to one vote.
This original idea then expanded with fire and purpose to become the elite all-female skydiving demonstration team that exists today. They have nearly 200,000 jumps among them and each member on average has 20 years in the sport.
In 2020, they have done jumps celebrating the 19th amendment centennial across America. In coming years, Highlight intends to magnify other messages that matter, partnering with social impact groups we align with and large-scale outdoor events looking to attract media attention for our shared missions.
