Nisha spoke on her journey through chemistry and realising she was a lesbian. We enjoyed her insights and anecdotes! #ostem #lgbtqhistorymonth #lgbtqstem #stemlgbtqyou

Katherine spoke on asexual, aromantic, and agender identities, their intersectionality, and how allyship/anti-discrimination policies need to improve #ostem #lgbtqhistorymonth #lgbtqstem #stemlgbtqyou

Avery and Caitlyn led a session on volunteering with oSTEM and what oSTEM can offer you! Reminder that in addition to volunteering opportunities. oSTEM can support you with funding and support! #ostem #lgbtqinstem #lgbtqhistorymonth

Chris kicked off the afternoon with his talk on his role in implementing decarbonisation strategies in the West Midlands, his experiences in government, and the importance of STEM expertise combined with govt funding to meet sustainability targets #stemlgbtqyou #ostem #lgbtqstem #lgbtqhistorymonth

Abena wrapped up our morning session with her engaging talk on how we are all part of the revolution, and how we can all make a difference! #stemlgbtqyou #ostem #lgbtqstem #lgbtqhistorymonth

We ran two parallel sessions - a fireside chat with Darrian on activism at work, and an interactive workshop with David. Loved these interactive formats and engaging conversations #stemlgbtqyou #ostem #lgbtqstem #lgbtqhistorymonth

Then we had a talk from Poggy. Poggy has an impressive engineering, managerial, and EDI background, and spoke about EqualEngineers and how there is a long way to go in terms of EDI in some engineering spaces #stemlgbtqyou #ostem #lgbtqstem #lgbtqhistorymonth

Our second talk was from Eva, on her experiences as an activist, and how the mainstream media can misrepresent the experiences of trans people. They gave some great insights on how we can all plant seeds to change people’s attitudes for the better #stemlgbtqyou #ostem #lgbtqstem #lgbtqhistorymonth

We’ve had a great morning of talks, focusing on activism and change! Can’t wait to get the afternoon sessions started #lgbtqhistorymonth #lgbtqstem #ostem
