Today’s society promotes the stereotype that women are not good at math, or if they are, they can’t be good at other things. This month’s moderator SMASHES that myth. She will be talking with three women about their math experiences, and how they are living their best lives.
The format for You Do You webinars is the presenters will individually talk a little bit about their experiences, talk about issues as a group, and answer questions from guests.
