    Here we are!

    Scout

    70% of design students


    are women
    40% of designers in the
    industry are women

    How are we doing? Where


    are we going?

    More female speakers at conferences

    More and more women are speaking up


    about the bullshit they face

    Amplify each other

    Black and Third World people are


    expected to educate white people as to
    our humanity. Women are expected to
    educate men. Lesbians and gay men are
    expected to educate the heterosexual
    world [] There is a constant drain of
    energy which might be better used in
    redefining ourselves and devising
    realistic scenarios for altering the
    present and constructing the future.

    - Audre Lorde

    YOU.

    Find your support system.

    Challenge yourself. Get


    uncomfortable.

    Keep pursuing what you dont know.
