Flowers Shares Message of Inspiration at Conference Focused on Girls
Earlier this month, C-STEM Founder and CEO Dr. Reagan Flowers spoke as a featured presenter at the Save A Girl, Save A World 12th Annual Weekend Summit in Atlanta. Speaking to the conference theme, “The Power of Dreams 2.0”, Flowers shared about career building and entrepreneurship in the context of STEM.
"Many do not know that the cosmetics field also falls under STEM careers," Flowers said. "There is a need for chemists, biochemists, biologists, physicists, and even Engineers." She spoke about opportunities like designing sustainable packaging, eliminating ingredients that can create health challenges and terminal illnesses, and studying how plant stem cell-based cosmetics can be utilized to improve human skin.
Flowers said the conference as a whole was empowering. "There were so many takeaways shared with the young women such as: how to monetize their gift, how to champion the ideas and dreams of others, being persistent about your passion, mindfulness, mental health and well-being, personal optics, being true to one's self through adversity, valuing your potential and not perfection, and so much more," she said.
