"SLAY THE GAP" addresses the professional invisibility of women on the internet which limits their career development. Many young professional women struggle with low visibility on platforms like LinkedIn, often due to imposter syndrome, limited knowledge, and fear of criticism.
Our project seeks to bridge this gap by empowering women to increase their confidence, secure more opportunities, and fully utilize AI and social media to their benefit through an AI-powered social media management tool called ‘STAGE’, designed to help women professionals enhance their online presence through goal-oriented content that advances their careers.
