WOMEN'S MONTH
In their own words.
We sat down with women in computer science, nursing, and
engineering; students and professionals both, and asked them why they chose STEM, why they stayed, and what keeps them here..

ABOUT THE FILM
The Full Story
This campaign video featured an inspiring lineup of women across a range of STEM fields: Meklit, a Software Engineer; Amerit and Rem, Registered Nurses; Hannah, a Registered Nurse; Temi, a Change and Release Coordinator in IT; and Mahima, a Psychology student. Each guest took the time to share their unique and personal journey into STEM, speaking candidly about the experiences and influences that shaped their career paths. From the encouragement of supportive parents and a genuine passion for their chosen fields to a deep-seated desire for greater representation, their stories were as diverse as they were inspiring. Together, they wove a powerful narrative that underscored just how vital it is to have more women represented and celebrated in these spaces.
The conversation was rich with insight, vulnerability, and motivation, offering viewers an honest look at what it means to navigate STEM as a woman. Whether they spoke about overcoming self-doubt, finding mentors, or simply following what they loved, each participant reminded us that there is no single path into STEM and that every story matters.
Our founder, Lois Arokoyo, opened and closed the conversation with powerful and thought-provoking remarks, reinforcing the critical importance of women’s active participation in STEM. She also turned her attention to the bigger picture, exploring meaningful and actionable ways to grow the presence and influence of women across STEM sectors in Canada, and why doing so is not just beneficial but necessary for the future of the industry.
