She explains how this problem starts at the university level, where there is a 50:50 split between women and men in classes. Once women enter the workforce, they are drastically underrepresented, making up only 20% of professionals in the field. Kayla has seen firsthand some of the obstacles that prevent women from succeeding in this male-dominated industry. However, she remains hopeful that organizations like Building Equity and Architecture, which promote diversity and equality through a cross-disciplinary approach, will help to close the gender gap. This episode is sure to give you plenty of food for thought, no matter what industry you work in.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RDhSgHWKoU1bfVWik5xPvQuD59nodczr5uXw9s_8x0I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzU3NzMvMTU4MDIz/NTM3NC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
