“What inspires me is the idea that we have the power to make things better for generations after us, to create a blue print worth following.Ohemaa speaking on her biggest inspiration”

“My message to the young ones is that STEM is not difficult. STEM is fun, it is the basis of our very existence. Don’t shy away from STEM subjects in school. Embrace it and apply the knowledge gained in your surroundings. Knock on doors to get opportunities and use the internet for research. There are so many opportunities out there waiting for you. Shine your light wherever you go!Ohemaa speakin during an interview with the United nations.”

“I’ve encountered prejudice and sexism a few times. When I resumed my offshore duties after childbirth, a male colleague questioned why I’d leave my child to come work.”

“My advice to young women or girls who wish to pursue a career in STEM is to dare to be different - just do it! There are others who are doing it and therefore it is possible, and even if no one has done it yet, pave the path and always remember to shine bright while doing this.”

“There was a time in Nigeria when I was the only lady on a rig with over 150 people. This piqued my interest to check with other fields in the STEM space and I realized it was quite common to find very few ladies in STEM careers.”

“I believe I will see myself as successful when I have been able to significantly increase the percentage of women in STEM careers.Ohemaa in a interview”

“Africa has so much untapped human knowledge; so many people have not been able to identify the talents they have to solve challenges in society. Many young people at the early stage of life are not privy to the fact that STEM can transform society. I believe with more education, information and awareness, and by making opportunities available, we will be able to identify and help develop the amazing talent out there.Ohemaa speaking during an interview with the United nations.”

“I will say my greatest achievement has been the ability to tailor my passion to help the younger generation through STEM. That is through GIST and PM STEAM Academy.”
