Mila Xavier: The Alchemist of STEM & Style ✨🔬👠

They told me I couldn't marry molecules with Manolos. That equations and elegance were enemies. Darling, watch me.

I started with a lab coat and a dream—they had only the coat I could afford and stitched together grant applications in borrowed blazers, sold my vintage Chanel to fund my first STEM workshop for girls in Lagos, slept on a futon in a co-working space, and had to wake up with calculus equations on my arms in Sharpie. Glamour? I recycled last season's runway looks into pi puzzle infographics. Hunger is creative.

Then—viral. A TikTok of me talking about quantum entanglement in a custom latex dress ("Schrödinger's Slay"), Forbes 30 Under 30, keynotes at MIT in thigh-high boots. Now? I am the CEO of NeuroGlam where we teach coding through haute holographic AR filters. My secret? STEM isn't sterile, it is sensual. Every algorithm has a heartbeat. Every lab is a runway.

But this crown? Heavy. I've cried in Ubers with the glasses and blazer, distracted faked confidence in boardrooms, burned three startups to ash before one sparked. You think fashion is frivolous? Try to convince VC's to invest 550k in "nanotech nail art" products. Still, when that girl DM's me "You made me love math," I remember, I'm not just building a brand, I'm building a rebellion.

Tag along. We're just getting started.💋⚡️#LabRatToLuxury
