Astute listeners will realize that the audio for this version is the same as the version that ran on WTJU this morning at 6 a.m. I've done this one or twice before and today I want to use my morning to get on to the next set of stories rather than record a new version.The switch to morning publication means there is a clock ticking the moment I wake up and motivation this morning has taken me in different directions and I want to get this finished and done.The vast majority of people who consume Charlottesville Community Engagement do so via the written version, but I encourage people to listen to the audio version so you can hear people's voices.This time I'm putting the copy from the public service announcements than ran on the WTJU version.

Shame, Identity and the Right to Be Yourself | Why Care? Live in partnership with Athena Effect

Why Care?

In this special live episode of Why Care? Live, recorded at Dame Kelly Holmes' Annual Women's Celebration Event - Athena Effect, Nadia Nagamootoo is joined by Linda Riley, Raga D'silva, and Vikki Feltham for a powerful conversation on identity, shame, visibility, and what it takes to live truthfully in a world shaped by expectations.Together, they explore the pressure to stay hidden, the cost of being judged by systems and society, and the courage it takes to reject shame and define yourself on your own terms. From activism and allyship to illness, recovery, and self-acceptance, each guest shares deeply personal reflections on being seen, being underestimated, and choosing authenticity anyway.This is a conversation about what happens when women stop shrinking, stop apologising, and start living fully as themselves.Key TakeawaysAuthenticity often comes with risk, but hiding can carry its own long-term cost. Raga speaks about years of living multiple identities before deciding she could no longer stay hidden.Shame begins to loosen when people reconnect with their own worth rather than external expectations. Vikki reflects on surviving cancer, rebuilding trust in her body, and no longer seeing herself as someone to hide.Allyship matters most when allies speak up, not just listen quietly. Linda makes a direct call for stronger ally support, especially when LGBTQIA+ communities are forced to defend themselves alone.Inclusion conversations become more powerful when they are open, human, and psychologically safe, which is exactly how Why Care? Live is positioned in the concept brochure.The closing message of the panel is simple and strong: listen without judgment, question your assumptions, and help shape change through everyday actions.Links- Nadia Nagamootoo:⁠ Official website⁠ | ⁠LinkedIn⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠- Avenir Consulting: ⁠https://linktr.ee/avenirconsultingservices- Athena Effect: Official website| Instagram- Dame Kelly Holmes: Official site | LinkedIn | Instagram- Linda Riley: Official website | LinkedIn | Instagram- Raga D'silva: Official website | LinkedIn- Vikki Feltham: LinkedIn | Instagram

South East Technological University's (SETU) sixth annual Women in Technology event will bring together role models from industry and academia to challenge perceptions of technology and encourage more young women to consider careers in the sector. The event at SETU Arena in Waterford, on Thursday, 12 March, aims to grow young women's understanding of technology and demonstrate the career paths open to them in computing. Building on the success of last year's event, which welcomed over 1,000 female students from Cork, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Wexford, and Waterford, this year's programme promises to be more engaging than ever. Attendees will hear from inspirational keynote speakers who are leading the way in technology. These include Phil Healy, a two-time Irish Olympian who has successfully combined elite sport with a career as a Software Developer at Sun Life, and Likhitha Gaddi, a Software Engineer at Google. Alongside the keynote talks, the event, sponsored by Sun Life, Google, Security Risk Advisors and Nearform, will feature exhibition stands from some of the region's largest technology companies. Students will have the opportunity to interact directly with professionals working in technology, engineering, ICT, and software development, gaining insight into real-world career pathways. Amanda Freeman-Gater, Assistant Head of the Computing and Mathematics Department at SETU, believes that encouraging more women into technology is essential for the future of the sector. "The technology industry needs more women studying the wide range of technological programmes available, including those at SETU," said Ms Freeman-Gater, "Graduates can go on to build careers in dynamic technical roles that offer flexibility and the chance to work collaboratively on innovative ideas, services, and products." While there has been a recent shortfall in the number of women entering technology fields, this was not always the case, she adds. "Ada Lovelace is widely recognised as the world's first computer programmer. We must now focus on developing the next generation of female tech talent to create a more balanced and inclusive workforce. Women make up half the world's population, so it is only logical they should make up half the workforce in technology." SETU's Women in Technology event is open to second-level and third-level female students and teachers. The event will feature exhibitions, technology demonstrations, industry speakers, and information on SETU's wide range of third-level programmes, which provide pathways to exciting and rewarding careers in technology. Schools that register for SETU's Women in Technology event at SETU | Women in Technology 2026 will be entered into a draw to win a free bus to the event, while attendees will also be in with a chance to win one of six laptops.
