Mireille Toulekima Managing Director at MT Energy Resources	Planting the seeds of STEM in women in underprivileged communities The higher share of people living in poverty are women. The cause of gendered poverty is structural. It is entrenched in societies, workplace setting and embedded in personal relationships. Increasing women participation in STEM has proven to be an enabler to reduce the poverty level for women in underprivileged communities because STEM jobs are likely to result in higher wages and help empower economically challenged women.

Adrienne Tacke Senior Developer Advocate at MongoDB	There is NO Developer Uniform! "No devs wear that!" "You're too pretty to be a dev" "Only real devs use Macs" When we wonder why there is no diversity in tech, these stereotypes and gatekeeping philosophies are part of the blame. Having heard them over and over in my own career, I've learned to resist the negativity that ensues from these thoughts.

Vartika Manasvi Founder & CEO at StackRaft	Science of remote recruiting intelligence to build a borderless team Today, many organizations tolerate the use of fuzzy and imprecise wording, typically in the form of buzzwords and jargon. As those organizations hire people who communicate in a similar way, it increases the amount of fuzzy thinking, making the overall organization "dumber."

Tomomi Tsuchio Personal trainer/owner/author at 1Stop-fitness	What is Beauty? “Start valuing inner beauty more than external beauty!!” We have this idea that if we lose weight and change our appearance, we will feel good about ourselves. Is it true? Of course, we feel great about accomplishments, and I am not against that. But the concept of placing so much importance on physical appearance is out of balance.
