𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑨𝑴 𝑨𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅! As we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I find myself reflecting on a journey that is profoundly personal and immensely gratifying. As a woman in STEM—now more inclusively recognized as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Medicine)—I am a testament to the transformative power of nurturing a passion for sciences and arts alike. My foundation in science has been the bedrock upon which my career and personal development have been built. It has granted me a way of thinking and strategizing that intertwines the logical with the creative, the analytical with the intuitive. It has prepared me for anything and everything, equipped with logic, analytics, and an enriched way of thinking that I am deeply thankful for. To every girl and woman venturing into or already navigating the realms of STEAM, know that this path is as rewarding as it is challenging. It is a journey worth embarking upon, regardless of any stereotypes or societal norms that suggest otherwise. The notion that maths and science are not for girls is not only outdated but fundamentally wrong. I owe a great deal to the supportive environment my family and community provided, an environment that nurtured my curiosity and ambition. Yet, I know that not everyone is as fortunate. Let's use this day to celebrate not only the achievements of women and girls in science but also to reaffirm our commitment to inclusivity and support in STEAM fields. Let's pledge to mentor, to guide, and to inspire the next generation of women in STEAM, making it clear that their dreams are valid, their ambitions achievable, and their potential limitless. In embracing STEAM, we embrace a future that is diverse, innovative, and inclusive. Here's to the beauty of science, technology, engineering, arts, and medicine—and to the incredible women and girls who explore its depths and reach for its heights.
