A poet Maggie Piercy once wrote “A strong woman is determined to do something others are determined not to be done.” On March 24th the AGIT Global North America team took to Our Lady of Peace High School in San Diego for it’s 9th Annual Women’s Symposium focused on bringing a mixture of talent in women’s career paths ranging from duties with civil departments, lawyers, real estate agents, and professional athletes. Each speaker was allowed time to share their experiences that crafted their career path and how to overcome challenges in the modern day structure of the modern workplace. Maya Gabeira, a Brazilian Big Wave surfer was the keynote speaker for this event.
