Key Points

• Ipinapakita ng 2024 Play Well Study na 76 porsyento o tatlo sa bawat apat na batang babae na may edad 5-12 taon ay nakakaramdam ng pressure ng pagiging perpekto at nag-aalala sa paghuhusga ng iba sa kanilang creativity.
• Sa kabila ng katotohanang 13 porsyento lamang ng industriya ng konstruksyon ang binubuo ng kababaihan, ang mentorship initiative ng Unstoppable Academy ay naglalayong bigyang kapangyarihan ang mga batang babae na tuklasin ang industriyang karamihan ay pinangungunahan ng kalalakihan.
• Gumawa ng kasaysayan si Queeness Gutierrez, 10 taong gulang, bilang isa sa mga unang kalahok ng mentorship program ng Unstoppable Academy.

"We are just so proud of her that at a very young age, she's doing so much at school and this mentorship is an opportunity for her to widen her knowledge about something she's interested in - construction and Engineering. It will boost her further to achieve her plan or dream," Queeness's emotional mum, Queency.
