Closing the Gender Gap in STEAM+
Welcome to Elevate Women in STEAM+ (EWIS+) where we believe Women belong everywhere. Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton said: “Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.” Keeping those powerful words in mind, EWIS+’s Mission is to:
- Inspire women through Allies, Role Models, Storytelling, and the Wall of Inspiration.
- Enable & Empower women through invaluable Resources in STEAM+ and many more industries.
- Elevate women to become the Next Generation of Extraordinary Women Leaders.

“We women have so much to bring to the big screen, film, to the screenplay, to storytelling, and we have so much to bring to the world in general, whether it’s in science, technology, engineering. I studied chemical engineering at the university. I remember having to work twice as hard as my male counterparts back then. I had to wear pants. If I wore skirts or dresses, instantly that would set off a different kind of perception, and people would treat me differently for the simple fact that I am dressed differently, and I am a very young woman. There is still the message sometimes that young women get, that they have to dress sexy or objectify themselves in order to get anywhere in life, and that’s simply not true. Who you are is beautiful, it’s amazing! If you are just persistent, and you study and you work hard you can build something, and do something you can be proud of.”

Veteran Powered Films
Julia Ling runs Veteran Powered Films along with her producing partner and several other veterans and VPF’s mission is to help stop veterans suffering and veteran suicide.
“This is done by hiring and casting veterans, allowing them to write stories, make movies, being in front of the camera, and behind the camera. There are so many roles they can take on, like technician, directing, gaffing, production assistant. There is tons of roles to make a film set complete. We make these movies, we sell them, then we make the money, and then we come back, and we write and produce more. Our ultimate mission is to stop veteran suicide, and if there is anything that we can do to inspire or reach out and help another veteran, that is everything that we want, and it makes all of this effort worth it.”
You can support VPF’s mission by making a small monthly donation. All proceeds go directly towards creating projects to support veterans through filmmaking. Thank You For Your Support!
