“I believe that in order to truly deliver the thoughts and voices of girls from different upbringings, age groups and professions, the first step is to build a personal connection with different people so as to hear their stories.”

As a student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Phoebe co-founded of the university group Girls Empowerment Network (GEN), which seeks to engage male and female students in discussions around gender discrimination, social expectations and career empowerment.
