STEM Sisters has been proudly recognised with the MAGNIFY 2023 Tech Diversity Media Award for their outstanding contributions to empowering women of colour (WoC) in STEM across Australia. This is not their first honour; they were previously honored with the Multicultural Excellence Award in 2022. MAGNIFY is a quarterly digital publication that has released 9 impactful issues, reached an audience of 4,000, and showcased over 80 inspiring stories from women of colour, representing more than 25 diverse cultures. This remarkable initiative aims to uplift and support WoC at various stages of their STEM careers, from students just starting out to seasoned professionals making their mark in the field.
Through its engaging and inspiring content, MAGNIFY serves as a vital resource for guidance, mentorship, and encouragement, particularly for those in the early stages of their careers or those looking to return to STEM after a break. While the publication is focused on the Australian context, it has a global reach, making it a beacon of support for migrant STEM professionals and providing a platform for their unique experiences and challenges.
The recognition through the MAGNIFY 2023 award underscores STEM Sisters’ unwavering commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within STEM fields. By ensuring that women of colour receive the recognition, mentorship, and inspiration they need, STEM Sisters is not only creating a supportive community but also paving the way for future generations of women in STEM. Their dedication to empowering WoC has made a significant impact, enhancing representation and inclusion in the STEM landscape.
