As we introduce the 10th issue of MAGNIFY, our journey continues to celebrate and amplify the voices of empowered women of colour in STEM. This milestone edition highlights our ongoing mission to spotlight the remarkable accomplishments of these extraordinary individuals. Reflecting on our path, we are inspired by the countless stories of resilience, innovation, and empowerment that have graced our pages.
In this special issue, we explore the multifaceted world of STEM mothers, featuring an insightful interview with Dr. Fateme Akhlaghi, who balances motherhood with a thriving STEM career. We shine a spotlight on our Ambassador, Yesha Ketankumar Desai, and introduce Professor Devanshi Seth in our Big Sisters STEM Story. Our Volunteer Spotlight highlights Suga Gunathilake, while the Cultural Intelligence segment delves into the richness of Japanese culture. We also unveil the journeys of Nee Edirisinghe and A/Prof Meru Sheel, alongside our new section, “Nature and STEM: The Lotus Effect,” which explores the fascinating phenomena of the natural world.
The Arts Corner invites you to a conversation with Dr. Sepideh Foroutan, showcasing the artistic side of STEM, and we celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of women of colour with compelling discussions featuring Anh Van and Melody Wu. As we champion diversity, inclusion, and empowerment in STEM, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our contributors, readers, and supporters. Your unwavering commitment fuels our mission, and together, we will continue to amplify underrepresented voices and create a more inclusive and equitable future within STEM.
