@wokeSTEM for starting her #scicomm campaign while finishing her PhD.

@SkypeScientist @SarahMackAttack @hood_naturalist @SaveNuthatches @WildlifeFound I just started following @wokeSTEM and you should, too. WokeSTEM is a creative response to the lack of diversity, social equity and inclusive cultures for minoritized people in STEM. Not just for women.

@wokeSTEM So proud! Very well deserved and can’t wait to see what this leads to🙌🏼


Yesterday I met Shawntel (I should say DOCTOR Shawntel as of recently!) who founded @wokeSTEM! If you don't already follow then you're missing out. Shawntel is one of this year's emerging producers at World Congress of Science and Factual Producers. One to watch! 🙌 #WCSFP19

This awesome TED talk by Shawntel Okonkwo, founder of @wokeSTEM, explains how overlapping forms of discrimination leave some people & perspectives out of STEM. Like wokeSTEM, we're working to de-stigmatize STEM and make it accessible for all. #FollowFriday youtube.com/watch?v=JOayfG…
