This award, now in its eighth year, honors women dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities and empowering future generations.
Dr. Imafidon has made significant strides in transforming the STEAM landscape for girls and non-binary individuals. Through Stemettes, a groundbreaking initiative she co-founded in 2013, she has created an inclusive community that fosters young talents through experiential learning, mentorship, and exposure to real-world STEAM environments.

"Girls deserve the chance not only to learn but to lead," Dr. Imafidon emphasized, highlighting her commitment to nurturing curiosity and creativity among young people. Her early achievements in academics, such as passing her first GCSEs at the age of 10 and obtaining a Master’s degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Oxford, underscore her dedication to education and empowerment. Recognizing the barriers faced by underrepresented groups in technical fields, she launched Stemettes to ensure that every young person sees a place for themselves in STEAM careers.
Dr. Imafidon’s approach focuses on joy, visibility, and a sense of belonging. Her initiatives are designed not just to educate but to empower girls to dream big, fostering resilience and a passion for innovation. Naomi Kawanishi, the Global Brand President of Clé de Peau Beauté, expressed pride in recognizing Dr. Imafidon’s monumental contributions to girls’ empowerment in STEAM, stating, "Her work with Stemettes is reshaping what young people see as possible for themselves."
The Power of Radiance Awards reflect Clé de Peau Beauté's ongoing commitment to championing education as a transformative force. Central to this mission is The Serum, the brand’s iconic product that symbolizes the awakening of skin’s innate ability to respond positively to external stimuli while harnessing vitality and radiance. Part of the proceeds from sales of The Serum will be dedicated to furthering the mission of education and empowerment for young girls.
Dr. Imafidon's recognition by Clé de Peau Beauté is not just an accolade; it’s a commitment to supporting her efforts in expanding access to enriching STEAM learning experiences. With plans to further develop programs that connect young individuals to industry mentoring opportunities, the partnership seeks to cultivate imagination, confidence, and resilience among the next generation.
