A Storytelling Event. A Platform for Visibility & Engagement to Further Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity in Design.
关于我们
We Inspire Emerging Leaders in Design (WIELD) is a program for emerging professionals developed in collaboration with the AIA Washington, DC Chapter. WIELD is the leading equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) platform in the Washington, DC area and has become a movement to amplify the voices of both distinguished and rising leaders to motivate fellow upcoming trailblazers in the profession. This storytelling event provides opportunities for emerging leaders to engage in the EDI conversation by promoting visibility, awareness, and sponsorship. Each event seeks to amplify diverse voices of success in order to empower the next generation of leaders by sharing tools that will allow them to thrive in their careers and reframe the conversation of succession planning and the future of the profession. WIELD fosters an inclusive environment for industry leaders to share their stories of empowerment and resilience through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Inspired by the momentum of the Equity by Design survey by AIA San Francisco and the work of Girl UNinterrupted, WIELD curates an evening where one may laugh upon hearing a relatable anecdote, meet a future mentor, or network with fellow emerging leaders. Most importantly, WIELD strives to shift the conversation about equity in the AEC industry from one of excuses and causation towards one of positive and progressive dialogue, providing solutions that advance all emerging leaders. The event has sparked a digital movement of storytelling by emerging leaders in design through the hashtags #AIAWIELD, #WIELD, and #WIELDyourStory. At the 2018 September event, one audience question resonated with the speakers as it was simple, yet powerful: “When did you find your voice and what triggered the change?” The founder and creator of WIELD, Yiselle Santos, gave the best advice of the night with two simple words: “Be Fearless.” These words propel our own efforts as we look ahead to hosting our next event.

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to make our event so special and inspiring! Special shout out to our sponsors Haworth DC and Price Modern Baltimore for making this event possible, as well as our speakers Monika Kumor (HOK), Alyson Steele (Quinn Evans), and Nadine Ngouabe Dlodlo (Women's Home Preservation) for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge and experience at our event. We hope you took away as much as we did and can apply new strategies for collaboration and team management, even when working with people from different backgrounds or personalities. #wieldyourstory #advocacy #empathy #DEI
