Have you seen Reese Witherspoon’s video where she calls out the classic line in films, “What do we do now?” - a phrase that subtly portrays women as hesitant or dependent? It’s such a common theme, but many of us may not have even noticed it until she pointed it out. This got me thinking: how often does this same dynamic play out in STEM? Too often, the structures around us nudge us to wait for direction, seek approval, or let someone else take the lead. There’s also the double standard where women who are ambitious and take charge are often judged more harshly than their male counterparts. This bias can make us hesitant to step forward and lead, even when we have the skills and vision to do so. But what if we flipped the script? Just like Reese envisions female characters driving the story forward, we have the power to redefine the narrative in STEM. Instead of waiting for permission, we can take bold action, make decisions, and lead innovation. Think about it: in the story of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, women are not side characters, we are the protagonists! Let’s make sure our leadership and ideas take centre stage. What’s one step you can take this week to rewrite the story for yourself and inspire others in STEM? Let’s lead the way. #WomenInSTEM #Leadership #RewriteTheScript #Empowerment #Innovation https://lnkd.in/eEph8gdr
