C1C Madelyn Duckworth is speaking up for young women in the Air and Space Force. She joined an ROTC cadet and an Airman 1st Class in a moderated discussion as part of the Women's Air and Space Power Symposium. They talked about challenges women face in the military, strategies for overcoming systemic barriers, and their vision of productive change to improve diversity and inclusion throughout the ranks. Themes heard throughout the hour-long virtual event ... using education to improve understanding about where our policies and protocols stem from and why including people from all backgrounds and experiences is an asset for strong, successful military teams.
