‘Meet My Future Self’ Event:

This initiative that Hannah Awonuga created to challenge the status quo and inspire the next
generation of young women. This 60-minute session aims to spotlight diverse senior women
in the workplace who may have come from lower socioeconomic communities themselves.
The program hosts a series of events that invites women from diverse backgrounds in senior
positions to share their career journeys and past experiences and tips and advice based on
what they have learned throughout their career journeys.

The initiative focuses on inspiring 14–15-year-old schoolgirls from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds and aims to change the narrative that “I don’t see women who look like me” or
“come from the same backgrounds as me” in senior positions.

Representation is important, and although there is still a considerable lack of representation
of diverse women in the workplace, there are some phenomenal diverse women trailblazing
in their fields. Young women/girls need to see women who look like them in senior positions
to believe they can also achieve career success. The aim is to set high aspirations for young
women who come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, who might feel confined by their
conditions and environments, to dream big and have the opportunity to see people who look
like them in positive and successful positions.

See visible leaders will motivate, inspire and allow them to dream of the many possibilities
and opportunities that lay ahead of them after school.
