Aisha Bowe: Aerospace Engineer, STEMBoard and Lingo Founder, and Future Astronaut

[Aisha Bowe] (https://www.instagram.com/aishabowe/) is an aerospace engineer and the founder of the engineering consultancy firm [STEMBoard] (https://www.stemboard.com/) . Bowe wasn’t always an engineering wizard. In high school, she struggled to connect academically and enrolled in community college with little hope that any field could interest her. But a teacher identified her strengths and suggested she try out engineering. She thrived in her engineering courses, and her confidence and sense of possibility for her career began to grow. She followed this passion to the University of Michigan, where she gained two degrees in aerospace engineering. Bowe interned at NASA in college and then was hired full-time. She ultimately spent seven years there, working on small spacecraft and flight trajectory dynamics. In 2013, she founded STEMBoard, a startup that provides engineering services and solutions—a feat she accomplished without any outside funding—and eventually left her job at NASA to pursue her startup full-time. In 2020, she founded [Lingo] (https://stemlingo.com/) , a company that creates self-paced, at-home STEM education kits for kids. Earlier this year, it was announced that she would be the first Black woman to travel to space with Blue Origin, the spaceflight company founded by Jeff Bezos.

[Lauren Caris Cohan] (https://www.instagram.com/laurencariscohan/) is a filmmaker and the chief creative officer of the chic and sustainable womenswear brand [Reformation] (https://www.thereformation.com/new/this-week?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA57G5BhDUARIsACgCYnxyNVNy70ML3k8NZVF-nQ2x-w6JxYOZxdyditS1ai08NlTnBTKWTpAaAi4XEALw_wcB) . Lauren got her start as a styling assistant at Free People in Philadelphia in the late 2000s, eventually working her way up to the title of artistic director. While looking to pursue a newfound interest in screenwriting, she was given carte blanche to create a series of narrative short films for the brand. In 2017, she left the company to look for new opportunities to explore filmmaking. She consistently worked on her projects, creating short films, writing scripts, and co-founding a creative services agency called Lolly Would. In 2017, she co-founded the industry-disrupting lingerie brand Cuup, again bringing her distinctive creative flair to craft the storytelling around the start-up.

Scarlett Johansson: Actor, Director, and Co-Founder of The Outset

Scarlett Johansson is an actor, director, producer, and co-founder of the skincare company [The Outset] (https://theoutset.com/) . She began acting at age nine and continued to work steadily through adolescence and beyond, making films alongside industry legends like Robert Redford and taking on increasingly ambitious roles like the titular character in Girl With the Pearl Earring. Her career climbed to new heights in the last decade, as she was nominated for Academy Awards for the films Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story, and played the lethal superhero Black Widow in the Marvel movie franchise. But after years as an accomplished actress, she knew that she wanted to expand her horizons and use some of her hard-earned expertise for her own projects. She then founded her own production company, These Pictures, and in 2022, co-founded the skincare company, The Outset, to provide solutions for adult acne and other skin issues that had plagued her for years. The brand, which launched on Amazon and QVC earlier this year, has come to be known for its effective ingredients and simple, nonirritating formulas. As if that wasn’t enough, this year, Scarlett directed her first feature film, Eleanor the Great, starring the 94-year-old acting legend June Squibb.
