![❓Whose voice is in your head? ✨
For many South Asian women, success often comes with a side of self-doubt. That voice telling us we’re not good enough? That’s imposter syndrome - and it’s time we call it out. 👈
➡️This carousel is a journey to RECOGNIZE the doubts, REFRAME the narrative, and RECLAIM your confidence. It’s not about silencing the inner critic- it’s about rewriting the script:
✨ “I’ve earned my place.”
✨ “My achievements are not accidents.”
✨ “I belong here.”
👉 Let’s stop shrinking and start owning our space - because we deserve to be here.
🗣️ Join the conversation: Your story can break the cycle. Help shape better support systems for South Asian women by sharing your experiences in our short survey.

![✨March was a month of action and connection for Lotus STEMM!✨
We were honored to participate in the Women Empowered (WE) Social Event—a vibrant space where women from diverse backgrounds came together to share stories, strategies, and solidarity in advancing gender equity.
At our booth, we connected with so many changemakers, students, and professionals who stopped by to learn about our Breaking Barriers Project. These conversations reinforced what we know to be true: systemic change starts with listening to women’s lived experiences.
A few reflections from the day:
💟Community fuels progress: The energy of women rallying together to uplift one another is unmatched.
💟Visibility is vital: Representation in STEMM isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a necessity for inspiring future generations.
✅Action starts with data: Every conversation at our booth underscored the urgency of our Breaking Barriers survey- to turn anecdotes into actionable insights.
📢 Your Voice Shapes Our Work!
If you’re a South Asian, woman in STEMM, we need your perspective. Participate in our 10-minute Breaking Barriers survey (link below) to help us design programs that actually address your needs.

![🚨 Breaking Barriers in STEMM 🚨
We’re excited to launch a 3-year research initiative at Lotus STEMM, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE)! 🌟
This project will uncover the unique challenges South Asian women face in STEMM and create a more inclusive future. 💡
Why it matters:
South Asian women in STEMM often face hidden barriers. We’re here to amplify their voices, share their stories, and build resources that promote equity and inclusion across Canada. Together, let’s create spaces where they don’t just participate—they lead! 🌍
How can YOU help?
👉 If you’re a South Asian woman in STEMM (18+ in BC, Ontario, or Alberta), share your story with us through our surveys and focus groups!
👉 Spread the word! Help amplify the voices of those who need to be heard.
This is a call to action! Join us in paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future for South Asian women in STEMM. 🙌
