Introduction

In November 2022, I uploaded my first blog. Under the name, genzette it introduced my goals in making the news more accessible to Gen Z. As a female Gen Z-er, I hoped to create a space where women could discuss socioeconomic issues - from period poverty to climate change to homelessness - and current affairs. 

However, despite refining my plan for months, I realised that my passions were less about revamping the news for a Gen Z audience and more about how we can change its narratives. About how gender imbalances affect an array of careers and that limited perspectives are therefore shared. About how these issues are systematic.

So, my goals for genzette changed.

Instead of founding a gazette about socioeconomic issues, I want to build a community that encourages women to be decision makers, thought leaders, especially in industries such as finance and economics where the executive boards have vast impact, including at a national level.

The Finance Bridge, instead, highlights the array of networking opportunities available to women at an early career-level. Because in order for there to be more women at the top, there must first be more women at the entry level. It also features a newsletter, discussing all things gender equality and bridging gaps, as well as webinars and a series of resources to help fully prepare applicants as they start their career in these male-heavy industries.
