GirlTalkers

Introducing our next GirlTalker, Dawn Onishi-Valenzuela! She is an artist and the creator of Majestic Tahoe. Her inspiration is henna art, Japanese tattoos, and Maori tattoos. She uses her favorite medium, an acrylic paint pen, to draw on water bottles and coffee tumblers because she loves the idea of art you can take with you. In this video she shares her journey to owning herself and sharing her art with the world.

We are super excited to share our next GirlTalker, Mehak Khan! She is a training neuroscientist at Harvard University who studies how cells in the brain communicate with each other through their electrical activity. She came to neuroscience through an interest in astrophysics and enjoys exploring this unconventional connection through art and writing. In this video she talks about how a strong passion can lead a woman to succeed in a field despite any gender disparities or obstacles that she may face.
