Yiziphi izimfanelo zabesifazane ezisenza siqine emsebenzini nasensimini? 

Wendy Williams - Ngokuvamile abesifazane bavame ukuzinikela ngokujulile, intshiseko futhi bagxile emsebenzini lapho bebeka ingqondo yabo kuwo. Ngicabanga ukuthi lapho abesifazane benquma okuthile abakukhathalela ngokujulile, bayakwazi ukufeza izinto ezimangalisayo. Abesifazane bayakwazi ukusebenza ngokuzimela esimweni esifanele, futhi babe ngabaholi. Sinekhono lokuzimela futhi singadingi ukuqinisekiswa kwabanye…Bese kuwumbuzo nje wokuthi abesifazane bazizwa bezethemba kulezo zikhundla zobuholi.

Rocky Sanchez Tirona- Ngicabanga ukuthi uzwela lwethu nekhono lokuxhuma nezici ezithinta imizwa yenkinga kusivumela ukuthi sembule ezinye zezimpendulo ezingacacile.

Erin Ashe - Ikhono lethu lokuphatha amaphrojekthi amaningi ngesikhathi esisodwa, futhi siwaqhubekisele phambili ngokufana, asenze sibe izimpahla ezibalulekile kunoma yimuphi umzamo. Izinkinga eziningi zokongiwa kwasolwandle esibhekana nazo azilingani ngokwemvelo. Ozakwethu besifazane kwezesayensi bayaphumelela kuleso senzo sokuzamazama. Ngokuvamile, amadoda avame ukuba ongqondongqondo abalandelanayo. Umsebenzi engiwenzayo - ukwenza isayensi, ukuqoqwa kwezimali, ukuxhumana ngesayensi, ukuhlela ukuhlelwa kwemiklamo yensimu, ukuhlaziya idatha nokubhala amaphepha - kungaba inselele ukugcina zonke lezo zakhi ziqhubeka. Abesifazane nabo benza abaholi abakhulu nabahlanganyeli. Ubambiswano luyisihluthulelo sokuxazulula izinkinga zokongiwa kwemvelo, futhi abesifazane bahlakaniphile ekubhekeni konke, ekuxazululeni izinkinga, nasekuhlanganiseni abantu ndawonye.

UKelly Stewart - Emsebenzini, isifiso sethu sokusebenza kanzima nokubamba iqhaza njengomdlali weqembu siyasiza. Emkhakheni, ngithola abesifazane bengenalo neze uvalo futhi bezimisele ukubeka isikhathi nemizamo yokwenza umsebenzi uhambe kahle ngokusemandleni, ngokubamba iqhaza kuzo zonke izici kusukela ekuhleleni, ekuhleleni, ekuqoqeni nasekufakeni imininingwane kanye nokuqeda amaphrojekthi anezinsuku zokugcina.

U-Anne Marie Reichman - Intshisekelo yethu kanye nogqozi lokusebenzisa uhlelo. Kumele kube semvelweni yethu, ukuphatha umndeni nokwenza izinto. Okungenani yilokhu engikubone ngisebenza nabanye besifazane abaphumelele.

Ucabanga ukuthi ukongiwa kwasolwandle kuhlangana kanjani nokulingana kobulili emhlabeni jikelele?

UKelly Stewart -Ukongiwa kolwandle kuyithuba elihle kakhulu lokulingana kobulili. Abesifazane baya ngokuya behlanganyela kulo mkhakha futhi ngicabanga ukuthi abaningi banokuthambekela okungokwemvelo kokukhathalela nokuthatha isinyathelo ngezinto abakholelwa kuzo.

Rocky Sanchez Tirona – Izinsiza eziningi zomhlaba zisolwandle, ngokuqinisekile zombili izingxenye zabantu bomhlaba zifanelwe ukusho ukuthi zivikelwa futhi ziphathwa kanjani.

Erin Ashe - Abaningi bozakwethu besifazane basebenza emazweni lapho okungajwayelekile ukuthi abesifazane basebenze, ingasaphathwa eyokuhola amaphrojekthi nokushayela izikebhe noma ukuhamba ngezikebhe zokudoba. Kodwa, isikhathi ngasinye lapho benza, futhi bephumelela ekuzuzeni ukongiwa kwemvelo futhi bahilele umphakathi, badiliza imigoqo futhi babeke isibonelo esivelele kwabesifazane abasebasha yonke indawo. Lapho abesifazane abaningi laphaya benza lolu hlobo lomsebenzi, kuba ngcono. 

Ucabanga ukuthi yini okumele yenziwe ukuze kufakwe abesifazane abasebasha abaningi emkhakheni wesayensi nokongiwa kwemvelo?

Oriana Poindexter - Ukuqhubeka nokugxila emfundweni ye-STEM kubalulekile. Asikho isizathu sokuthi intombazane ingakwazi ukuba usosayensi ngo-2016. Ukwakha isisekelo esiqinile sezibalo nesayensi njengomfundi kubalulekile ukuze ube nokuzethemba ukuze ungasatshiswa ngezifundo eziningi kamuva esikoleni.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson - Ukufundisa, ukufundisa, ukufundisa! Kunesidingo esikhulu futhi sokufunda okwengeziwe kanye nokuhlangana okukhokhela iholo eliziphilisayo, ngakho-ke iqembu labantu abahlukahlukene lingakwazi ngempela ukukwenza futhi ngaleyo ndlela liqale ukwakha isipiliyoni nokuthola unyawo emnyango.

Rocky Sanchez Tirona - Amamodeli, kanye namathuba angaphambi kwesikhathi okuvezwa okungenzeka. Ngacabanga ngokuthatha isayensi yezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle ekolishi, kodwa ngaleso sikhathi, ngangingazi muntu owayengomunye, futhi ngangingakabi nesibindi kangako ngaleso sikhathi.

U-Erin Ashe - Ngiyazi ngokwami ​​ukuthi abayizibonelo bangenza umehluko omkhulu. Sidinga abesifazane abengeziwe ezindimeni zobuholi kwezesayensi nokongiwa kwemvelo, ukuze abesifazane abasebasha bezwe amazwi abantu besifazane futhi babone abesifazane ezikhundleni zobuholi. Ekuqaleni komsebenzi wami, ngaba nenhlanhla yokusebenzela ososayensi besifazane abangifundisa ngesayensi, ubuholi, izibalo, kanye nengxenye engcono kakhulu -ukushayela isikebhe! Ngibe nenhlanhla yokuzuza kwabeluleki besifazane abaningi (ngezincwadi nasempilweni yangempela) kuwo wonke umsebenzi wami. Ngokungakhethi, ngaba nabeluleki besilisa abakhulu, futhi ukuba nabalingani besilisa kuzoba ukhiye ekuxazululeni inkinga yokungalingani. Ngokwezinga lomuntu siqu, ngisazuza kwabeluleki besifazane abanolwazi oluthe xaxa. Ngemva kokubona ukubaluleka kwalobo budlelwano, ngisebenza ekufuneni amathuba okusebenza njengomeluleki kwabesifazane abasebasha, ukuze ngidlulise izifundo engizitholile.  

UKelly Stewart - Ngicabanga ukuthi isayensi idonsa abesifazane ngokwemvelo, futhi ukongiwa kwemvelo ikakhulukazi kudonsa abesifazane. Mhlawumbe isifiso esivame kakhulu somsebenzi engisizwa emantombazaneni asemancane ukuthi afuna ukuba izazi zezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle lapho esekhulile. Ngicabanga ukuthi iningi labesifazane lingena emkhakheni wesayensi nokongiwa kwemvelo kodwa ngenxa yezizathu ezithile, kungenzeka bangahlali kuwo isikhathi eside. Ukuba nezibonelo ensimini, nokukhuthazwa kuwo wonke umsebenzi wabo kungase kubasize bahlale.

U-Anne Marie Reichman - Ngicabanga ukuthi izinhlelo zemfundo kufanele zibonise abesifazane emkhakheni wesayensi nokongiwa kwemvelo. Ukuthengisa kuyangena lapho, futhi. Abantu besifazane abalingisayo njengamanje kudingeka babambe iqhaza elibonakalayo futhi bazinike isikhathi ukwethula nokukhuthaza isizukulwane esisha.

Kwabesifazane abasebasha abasanda kuqala kulo mkhakha wokongiwa kwasolwandle, yini enye into ofuna siyazi?

UWendy Williams - Mantombazane, anazi ukuthi izinto zihluke kanjani. Umama wayengenalo ilungelo lokuzikhethela….Impilo yabesifazane isilokhu ishintsha njalo. Abesifazane basabukelwa phansi ngezinga elithile. Into engcono kakhulu ongayenza lapho… ukuthi uqhubeke wenze lokho ofuna ukukwenza. Futhi ubuyele kubo futhi uthi, “Bhekani! Ungavumeli muntu akutshele ukuthi awukwazi ukwenza into ofuna ukuyenza.

U-Anne Marie Reichman – Ungalokothi ulilahle iphupho lakho. Futhi, ngaba nesisho esasihamba kanje: Ungalokothi ungalokothi ungalokothi ungalokothi uphele amandla. Alinge ukuphupha okukhulu. Lapho uthola uthando nothando lwalokho okwenzayo, kuba nomfutho wemvelo. Lokho kushayela, lelolangabi lilokhu livutha uma wabelana ngalo futhi uhlale livulekile ukuze libuswe nguwe nabanye. Yazi-ke ukuthi izinto zihamba njengolwandle; kukhona amagagasi aphezulu namaza aphansi (nayo yonke into ephakathi). Izinto ziyakhuphuka, izinto ziyehla, izinto ziyashintsha ukuze ziguquke. Qhubeka nokugeleza kwemisinga futhi uhlale uthembekile kulokho okholelwa kukho. Ngeke sazi umphumela uma siqala. Esinakho nje inhloso yethu, ikhono lokufunda imikhakha yethu, ukuqoqa ulwazi olufanele, ukufinyelela kubantu abafanele esibadingayo kanye nekhono lokwenza amaphupho afezeke ngokusebenza phezu kwawo.

Oriana Poindexter - Yiba nelukuluku lokwazi ngempela, futhi ungavumeli muntu athi “awukwazi ukwenza lokhu” ngoba uyintombazane. Izilwandle ziyizindawo ezingahlolwa kakhulu emhlabeni, masingene lapho! 

Erin Ashe - Engqikithini yakho, sidinga ukuthi ubandakanyeke; sidinga ubuhlakani bakho nokukhalipha nokuzinikela. Sidinga ukuzwa izwi lakho. Ungalindi imvume yokugxuma bese uqala iphrojekthi yakho noma uthumele ucezu lokubhala. Vele uzame. Yenza izwi lakho lizwakale. Ngokuvamile, lapho intsha iza kimi izosebenza nenhlangano yethu, ngezinye izikhathi kuba nzima ukusho ukuthi yini eyishukumisayo. Ngifuna ukwazi – iluphi ucezu olukhuthazayo noluqhuba isenzo sakho kwezokongiwa kwemvelo? Yimaphi amakhono nolwazi osuvele ulunikeze? Yimaphi amakhono ofisa ukuwathuthukisa ngokuqhubekayo? Yini ofuna ukuyihlakulela? Kungaba nzima ekuqaleni komsebenzi wakho ukuchaza lezi zinto, ngoba ufuna ukwenza yonke into. Futhi yebo, sinezici eziningi ezihlukene zokungenzi inzuzo kwethu lapho abantu bengangena khona - noma yini kusukela ekuqhubeni imicimbi kuya emsebenzini walebhu. Kaningi abantu bathi “Ngizokwenza noma yini,” kodwa uma ngiqonda kahle ukuthi lowo muntu wayefuna ukukhula kanjani ngingabafundisa ngokuphumelelayo futhi ngokufanelekile, ngibasize babone kangcono lapho befuna ukungena khona. Ngakho-ke cabanga ngalokhu: yimuphi umnikelo ofuna ukuwenza, futhi ungawenza kanjani lowo mnikelo, uma ubheka amakhono akho ayingqayizivele? Bese, gxuma!

UKelly Stewart-Cela usizo. Buza bonke obaziyo ukuthi bayawazi yini amathuba okuzithandela noma bangakwazi yini ukwethula kothile ensimini, endaweni oyithandayo. Kodwa-ke uzibona ufaka isandla ekongiweni kwemvelo noma kwisayensi yezinto eziphilayo, inqubomgomo noma ukuphatha, ukwakha inethiwekhi yozakwenu nabangane kuyindlela esheshayo nezuzisa kakhulu yokufika lapho. Ekuqaleni komsebenzi wami, lapho ngiqeda amahloni ami ekuceleni usizo, kwakumangaza ukuthi mangaki amathuba avulekayo nokuthi bangaki abantu ababefuna ukungeseka.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson - Bhala futhi ushicilele ngokusemandleni akho - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amabhulogi, izindatshana zesayensi, noma amaphepha amhlophe enqubomgomo. Thola ukukhululeka ngokuxoxa indaba yomsebenzi owenzayo nokuthi kungani, njengesikhulumi somphakathi nombhali. Lokho kuzosiza kanyekanye ukwakha ukwethembeka kwakho futhi kukuphoqe ukuthi uhlele futhi ucubungule imicabango yakho. Hamba kancane. Lona umsebenzi onzima ngenxa yezizathu eziningi, ukuchema mhlawumbe okungadingeki kakhulu kuzo, ngakho khetha izimpi zakho, kodwa nakanjani ulwele okubalulekile kuwe nasolwandle. Futhi yazi ukuthi uneqembu elimangalisayo labesifazane abakulungele ukuba abeluleki bakho, osebenza nabo, nabajahi bakho - vele ubuze!

Rocky Sanchez Tirona - Kukhona indawo yethu sonke lapha. Uma uluthanda ulwandle, ungakwazi ukuthola ukuthi uzongena kuphi.

UJuliet Eilperin - Enye yezinto ezibalulekile okufanele uyikhumbule lapho ungenela umsebenzi wobuntatheli ukuthi kufanele wenze into oyithandayo. Uma uthanda ngempela isihloko futhi uhileleke, lokho kuvela ekubhaleni kwakho. Akusizi neze ukugxila endaweni ngoba ucabanga ukuthi kuzosiza ukuthuthukisa umsebenzi wakho noma kuyinto efanele ukuyenza. Lokho akusebenzi ebuntathelini - kufanele ube nentshisekelo enkulu kulokho okubhalayo. Elinye lamagama athakazelisa kakhulu okuhlakanipha engawathola lapho ngiqala isigqi sami esihlanganisa imvelo The Washington Post kwakunguRoger Ruse, ngaleso sikhathi owayeyinhloko ye-The Ocean Conservancy. Ngixoxisane naye wathi uma ngingagunyaziwe ukutshuza akazi noma bekufanele yini ukuthi akhulume nami. Kwadingeka ngimbonise ukuthi ngisitholile isitifiketi sami se-PADI, futhi ngase ngicwile nge-scuba eminyakeni edlule, kodwa ngayiyeka yaphela. Iphuzu uRoger ayekhuluma ngalo kwakuwukuthi uma ngingekho olwandle ngibona okwenzekayo, yayingekho indlela engangingenza ngayo umsebenzi wami njengomuntu owayefuna ukuhlanganisa izindaba zasolwandle. Ngasithatha iseluleko sakhe ngokungathi sína futhi wanginika igama lomuntu engangingenza naye isifundo sokuvuselela eVirginia futhi ngemva nje kokuba ngibuyele ekutshuzeni. Bengilokhu ngibonga isikhuthazo anginika sona kanye nokuphikelela kwakhe ngokuthi ngiye ensimini ukuze ngenze umsebenzi wami.

Asher Jay – Zicabange njengomuntu ophilayo kulo Mhlaba. Futhi ukusebenza njengesakhamuzi somhlaba uthola indlela yokukhokha irenti ngokuba kwakho lapha. Ungazicabangi ungowesifazane, noma njengomuntu nanoma yini enye, vele uzicabange njengomunye umuntu ophilayo ozama ukuvikela isimiso esiphilayo... Ungazihlukanisi nomgomo wakho wonke ngoba ngomzuzu uqala ukuya. kuyo yonke leyo migoqo yezombangazwe… uzimise kancane. Isizathu sokuthi ngikwazi ukwenza umsebenzi omningi njengalokhu engiwenzayo yingoba angiwenzanga ngaphansi kwelebula. Ngisanda kukwenza njengomuntu ophilayo okhathalelayo. Kwenze njengomuntu ohlukile ukuthi unamakhono akho ahlukile kanye nokukhuliswa okuthile. Ungakwenza lokhu! Akekho omunye ongaphinda lokho. Qhubeka uphusha, ungayeki.
