Sisterhood is more than a bond — it’s a blueprint for social impact. In this episode, host Kelly Shungu sits down with Dr. Abigail Otchere and Donna Otchere — sisters, changemakers, and co-founders of SiSTEM UK — to explore how lived experience and community drive equity in STEM.Together, they unpack the moment SiSTEM was born, the power of representation for Black girls and women, and how they support women across the entire STEM journey — from early education to leadership. With recognition from WeAreTheCity, the Baton Awards, and E&T Magazine, the Otchere sisters are reshaping what inclusive success looks like in the UK STEM landscape.From sibling dynamics to structural change, this episode is a powerful reminder that leadership grounded in authenticity, sisterhood, and bold vision can move mountains.Whether you're in STEM or want to create change, this conversation will leave you inspired — and ready to start.⭐ CONNECT WITH US ⭐Host LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-ann-shungu/ Podcast LinkedIn: Women in STEM PodcastAll links: linktr.ee/womeninstem_podcast Instagram: @womeninstem_podcast⭐ GUEST LINKS ⭐All social media links: https://linktr.ee/sistemuk?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadZHB9QeGnke1U7r9EcJtxXcjPUK7Cj1oM1F9IXb4XZxXYDSlsJQt3AHV8LUQ_aem_aBpRApCBil6ewnus7nIJVQLinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sistem-uk/posts/?feedView=all
