🌌 Willow Westwood: The Alchemist of STEM & Soul 🧪✨

Once upon a time in a sparsely decorated dorm room, surrounded by half-constructed robots and impressionist paintings of nebulae, sat a girl named Willow Westwood, cross-legged and crying over a circuit board. Not just any circuit board; this circuit board was her dream, her escape, her only way out, of a world that felt as if someone had passed it down.

Willow made a deal with the universe that night; if STEM would not bend to her, she would bend STEM to her. Thus began the chaotic, glitter dusted odyssey of a girl who refused to choose between art and equations.

🔮 From Broken Circuits to Building Empires

Willow's journey was not a clean line, it was a spiral. A drop out, turned MIT researcher (seriously). A painter who constructed her virtual reality galleries. An autodidact engineer who took her garage and created a STEM fairyland for children who, like her, felt like permanently misplaced currency.

Her first startup was sold at 23 years old (a disaster, but one of those glowing scars). By 25 years old, she had built Westwood Labs - a psychedelic education collective where kids learn calculus through street art and physics by way of dance. Critics called it "unhinged," she called it "necessary."*

🌠 Why Follow Her?

Because Willow isn't a polished guru, preaching from a kingdom of privilege. She's a research-led, burned out, caffeine chugging inventor of decidedly impractical whims who wants to remember it all and still cries when a kid says to her, "I get it now."**

She'll help you solder a circuit while reading Rilke. She'll explain quantum theory through her tattoo sketches. And, yes, she will absolutely go off on the criminal lack of glitter in robotics.

🎢 The Messy, Magnificent Now

2025 in Lagos? She's still launching a STEM-art hybrid school, facing investors who still question why aesthetics matter, and writing a romance novel about two competing physicists.

Follow her. Or not. But if you've lost faith that science and soul don't mix?

Willow is here to show you just how wrong you are. 💥
