In September 2024, Adamaka Ajaelo, Founder and Executive Director of Self-eSTEM, joined IHeartRadio to shine a spotlight on one of the most critical issues in STEM today: the lack of diversity. From personal insight to program success stories, Adamaka delivered a clear and urgent message; STEM must become more inclusive if we want to drive real innovation.
For many, entering STEM isn’t just about aptitude, it’s about access. Adamaka spoke about how Self-eSTEM was created to fill the gaps left by a system not built for everyone. Through free workshops, leadership training, and mentorship programs, Self-eSTEM equips girls with tools to thrive in spaces where they’ve historically been excluded. These aren’t just feel-good programs, they’re launching pads for real careers.
Change is built through access, community and care. Behind every workshop is a girl finding her voice in STEM; Tune in to this podcast episode here:{Self-eSTEM} 2024 iHeart Radio Interview w/ Adamaka | Self-eSTEM’s Mission to Empower Girls in STEM
