Librae is a community organized by women for women. It is dedicated to fostering gender equality among students in STEM*. We achieve this by empowering female students with a robust network that links them to inspirational role models, each other, and their own potential.
There are moments when you realize you’re not just giving a keynote — you’re speaking directly into the hearts of people who GET IT.
I walked into a room full of brilliant, ambitious professionals in STEM — people who are building, designing, coding, researching, and leading in spaces where they’re often underrepresented and underestimated.
I came to share my story about ambition, audacity, and the resilience it takes to lead when life’s road gets difficult – because it will.
The Librae Network attendees listened and they leaned in – with grace, with empathy, and with their whole hearts.
Because they know what it means to carry brilliance that the world hasn’t always been ready to see.
Sangbreeta Moitra — your insights were electric and deeply human.
Charlotte Pouwels — thank you for showing up with clarity, strength, and heart.
Fatumah Nakayiza — your workshop on conflict resolution was everything we needed: smart, honest, and instantly applicable.
Sharon van Sprang — thank you for your enthusiasm, your encouragement, and your book “Beyond the Ceiling“, which now lives on my desk as a reminder that I can and will continue to rise without burning out.
Fay Fang — Librae’s fearless co-founder; thank you for building this platform, for centering voices that need to be heard, and for reminding us that unapologetic ambition is a strategy for systemic change.
Your story matters. // Your presence matters.
Keep showing up. // Keep speaking up.
Keep building the future louder, brighter, and bolder than the world expects.
You belong in STEM not in spite of who you are — but because of who you are.
