The event will feature a distinguished panel of accomplished women of colour who have made significant contributions in their respective STEM fields. They will share their insights, experiences, and wisdom on leadership, navigating obstacles, and achieving success. Their stories will inspire and motivate you to reach new heights in your own career journey.

In addition to the panel discussion, this event offers a valuable networking opportunity. Connect with like-minded professionals, potential mentors, and industry leaders who can support your career aspirations. Forge meaningful connections, share ideas, and collaborate with fellow women of colour in STEM.
