The Vision

We hope that through our story-telling - with a focus on knowledge and education in STEM - we can inspire the next generation of professionals to live fully and drive impact in their work.


It has been hard to stay motivated, but I do it for all the little girls who are told what they can and cannot do.
— Faridah Koledoye, Founder of Girls Who Strive, "Because I Was a Girl, I Was Told …", The New York Times Times, November 2016
