It's go time! Here's a look at a few of the lovely faces of #TeamHB6, as well as Homeward Bound faculty and staff, who assembled for our first official session over Zoom on March 17-18. Participants called in from across the globe and it was truly inspiring to start connecting and reflecting on our identities and motivators as womxn leaders in STEMM.
What came up for me? In a nutshell, I like to assess the big picture and find the gaps! I consider the intersection between STEMM and social issues and I'm motivated to act collaboratively to improve conditions. If I have the power to make a positive change, odds are I will, even if that means acting with little-to-no support. I'm driven to leave my environment at least a little bit fairer than I found it.
This is only the beginning of a deep dive! The excitement, support, and solidarity at this week's meeting was palpable even via Zoom and I'm eager to immerse myself within this incredible network over the coming year and beyond.
