Be open to change
Speaking at the event, Racing Driver & Motorsports Present, Naomi Schiff, said: "I was about 12 when I started racing and at first, I was a bit nervous because when I got to the racetrack there weren't very many girls, and there were definitely no girls of color. So if you see that you this passion of yours isn't working, be open to change. Plan B might be the better plan."
One of the young women attending the workshops said: "We are growing as women to be broader and more bold and more courageous. This is a symbol of our team."
Offering great opportunities
"The GoTeach program is a mentorship program," says DHL Sales Support & GoTeach Alumni, Dominicia Killa.

"For me just thinking that we can have an impact on these people that then will really have a ripple effect on these local communities. Through the system of care education therapy they actually have the chance to have a brighter future. It's really heartwarming to see their drive their passion and their creativity," shared ABB FIA Formula E Sustainability Director, Julia Palle.
