In reply to Adepeju Oti. Hi Adepeju, Thank you so much for your kind message. I would absolutely love to visit you in Nigeria! Unfortunately an overseas trip like that won't be possible this year, but perhaps another year?

Hello Danya,
Nice to hook up with you again. I am Adepeju Oti, Convener Raising Girls’ Ambition International Conference. We are based in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. I message you about 2 years ago on the possibility of you being a guest speaker. Well know one knows the outcomes of this Coronavirus pandemics. But all thing being equal, the conference holds on October 13-16, 2020. It is an annual conference, you could still consider being a guest speaker. And if you are skilled and certified in Coding and programming; there are other opportunities of collaboration.
Please let’s keep this conversation open. You can reach me via my email. Thank you

Youre a sexist feminist stop spreading your propiganda all men have mothers and most have sisters and daughters youre making women out to be heavy influential dumb and non-creative for their self. women’s equality is definitely a thing in our time all jobs for men are definitely open to women and I see most women fulfilling those jobs and excelling in them.im a man and a firm believer in womens rights and equality and you trying to hold them downi have a wife a mom and 6 sisters andd a beautiful smart daughter so stop downing on men pig.. i could go on but ill stop there

STEM for girls isn’t about changing their gender roles or ideas, it’s allowing them to think/partake in jobs and interests that are/have been traditionally male careers. We aren’ttrying to make them more masculine, so why the CRANE for boys, to try to reduce their gender roles or feminize their thinking? Really? Let boys be boys, let girls be girls, bot open the options. My 14 year old daughter can shoot a rifle and a bow, she has soldered, mig welded, sand blasted objects, cut metal and wood with power tools, and used an airbrush. She has helped repair sprinklers, perform a brake job on my truck, and has been taught the basics of electricity. She also fosters kittens, bakes and cooks, and loves interior design. I am not trying to influence or change her, just trying to expose her to as many things as possible to make her more capable and able to decide what she would like to do with more options available. Boys are allowed to perform any job they want these days, so should girls be. I love capable women, but we don’t need to try and CHANGE their thought processes, or those of boys (teach them nurturing and empathy classes, etc). At the end of the day, boys gravitate towards boy things, girls gravitate towards girl things. We should be exposing them to many things that are less gender based and opening them to different career options, but not trying to feminize boys or masculinize women. I feel theat men are attempting to be feminized too much already. Males and females are supposed to be different.
My thoughts.
