Words That Count is an initiative that documents stories of successful African women in STEM fields to present the various prospects on the STEM spectrum to young girls mapping their careers in STEM.
The scarcity of female role models in the STEM field makes it hard to close the gender gap. Knowing such women personally might be hard but having a media platform where many of them can be found for reference mitigates the challenge. While compiling their stories, the women featured realize how far they have come on their journey and are encouraged to scale greater heights. This platform also inadvertently helps these women overcome impostor syndrome as they retrospect on their STEM journey.
To promote STEM among African women and girls through story-sharing, confidence-building, and projection of all possible career paths on the STEM spectrum for those passionate about STEM.
To be the ideal builders of a STEM-oriented Africa which is intentional about providing quality education to young women and girls and uplifting them to pursue their dream careers in STEM.
We maintain honesty and transparency in the stories featured to bring out a realistic picture to our target audience.
We appreciate and respect African women from different cultural and economic backgrounds.
We delight in helping African women rise above the stereotypes imposed by culture and society.
We care about every aspect of what we do and work to maintain the high standards we set
We proudly amplify the voice of STEM in Africa and work to attract more women into it.
