Living in the Hyphen Podcast Season 1 Episode 6 hosted by Leo Taylor-Jannati. Today’s interview is with the Engineer, Women in STEM Advocate and Founder of FLO London; Maawura Totoe.

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields have long been considered a "man's world." But women are breaking through gender barriers and making significant strides in these male-dominated industries. Maawura Totoe is one such woman who has made her mark as an engineer in a typically masculine job.

Despite the progress made by women in STEM, the field still faces challenges. Bias, discrimination, and gender stereotypes are still present in many workplaces.

In this interview, Maawura discusses the challenges she's faced and the strategies she used to overcome them.

Maawura's belief is that the main challenge facing women in STEM is the lack of representation. Women make up only a small percentage of the STEM workforce and this can make it difficult to find female role models and mentors. Maawura believes that it is essential to increase the visibility of women in STEM and encourage young girls to pursue careers in these fields.

Despite these challenges, Maawura remains optimistic about the future of women in STEM. She believes that the more women who enter these fields, the more diverse and inclusive they will become. By breaking down gender barriers and challenging stereotypes, women are helping to transform STEM into a more welcoming and equitable industry.

Maawura is also the founder of FLO London; the ultimate social guide to London.

Hope that you enjoy this great conversation!
