Innervation: Ep 8 The Search for Truth Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

I speak to Dr. Precious Lunga, who is Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow's wife. I mention Jon first up because people always want headlines and we may have come across Precious through him. BUT after speaking with Precious, an impressive, uber smart and grounded Woman in STEM, it confirms that women can be all they are in their glory, without having to stand in the shadows of their men. Through this conversation you'll see how incredible Precious she is - she studied neuroscience and Epidemiology Cambridge University and turned down a full-time post doc to do field work in Africa on HIV. She's a true person of substance and has contributed vast amounts in the medical field. This episode is a 'must-listen'

Show notes

Juliane Sempionatto is a nano engineer working on wearable sensors at CalTech. She describes herself when she started her career journey as a poor black woman. She knew that women like her don't choose careers such as hers. Being this rare in nano engineering has helped her develop some major life skills, of resilience, determination and she isn't afraid of hard work. This uplifting and inspiring story, is enough to make anyone question their own self-pity - how strong must you be to prove the naysayers wrong...

Innervation: S2 Ep 6 Just be Yourself Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

This week on Innervation, I speak to aerospace engineer Jenna Tiwana about the many hats she has worn in STEM and how she has coped with being judged over that. Life isn't linear, right?!? Her bubbly enthusiasm carries her through life, particularly during the times when she is the only one. Being an ethnic minority woman in engineering is rare, but it’s all about attitude and she has a very positive one, because compared what what her ancestors went through, being badass in a male-dominated field is easy!

Innervation: S2 Ep 5 Going Back to Your Roots Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

Maryam is so inspiring as a woman of colour in engineering. She opens up about the hardships she has faced being one of few in her industry, but also describes her career journey. Being raised in a council flat in London, she had always been focused on getting out and securing a high-flying job. Having done all this, she then turned to where she is from and reveals how her processionals of self-acceptance has made her proud of who she is today. As always on Innervation, this is an uplifting, enriching and hopeful conversation.

Show notes

My guest this week, design engineer Esmeralda Ypsilanti talks about the importance of following your heart, as well as the rules. Her strength of character and 'don't mess with me' attitude is perfect as one of few females in her industry. I get to the root of where her resilience and confidence comes from and its inspiring, especially if you are a little unconventional, like me.

Innervation: Ep 52 Empowerment Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

Sometimes I don't think women realise how little power they have in most western societies. We truly do live in a patriarchal age, and as a result we all miss out on the power, strength and creativity that women can bring to the table. Times are getting better though, but I still think there are many things we can all do to empower ourselves, if we have fallen back into a role of being the underdog - and that doesn't just apply to women. Check out the discussion and perspectives from women in STEM on the topic of empowerment, as we increase our awareness of this important topic!
