"If I could sit next to that little girl today, I would whisper: Dream big and fight for it." Last month we brought together an incredible group of local school girls and inspiring women from Toyota Motor Europe for a morning of inspiration, aspiration and creativity. Our #ThisLittleGirlIsMe event was all about empowering the next generation of STEAM leaders to see their future selves as bold, ambitious, and limitless! Introduced by Monica Perez Lobo (She / Her), our panel of role models shared their personal journeys - reflecting on their younger selves, the challenges they faced and lessons learned along the way. The energy in the room was high as the girls jumped into our ‘This Woman Could Be Me’ workshop, visualising their future selves and sharing their dreams for the future. From Formula One to NASA, their career aspirations truly were as limitless as their imaginations. The highlight of the day was seeing the genuine connections formed between the girls and the role models—sharing their passions, experiences, and hopes for the future. Moments like these remind us why our work matters: hearing a young girl say she hopes to one day do the job of the woman beside her is proof of the powerful impact of seeing someone who inspires you, and knowing that you can achieve the same. A huge thank you to all the amazing women who made this day such a success— the fantastic Monica Perez Lobo and Desiree Lawrance, our incredible panellists: Leila Sharifian, Andrea M. Rios Lazcano, Coral Felipe Gracia, Silvia Pérez Sánchez and Azenor Ollivier, and of course our CEO Vicky Booth for leading such inspiring discussions and workshops. Together, we’re building a future where every young girl knows she can be unstoppable. #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #LifeAtToyotaEurope
