What does being a Black woman in STEM mean to you?
Being a Black woman in STEM is a constant choice to courageously fight for what I love. I love science, medicine, and the betterment of all people, which are all gate-kept by those with higher power— those who aren’t Black. Choosing to continue down this path is frightening because I know I will often be the only one who looks like me, talks like me, or has similar experiences to me. However, it becomes fulfilling when I get to serve others in the community who feel the same way. When I may feel alone in my field, I remember that there are many patients who also feel alone in the doctor’s office or community health clinics. I hope to help patients who feel unseen or silenced in medical spaces by letting them know there is someone who understands and hopes to help them. Being a Black woman in STEM means taking small acts of bravery today in order to one day make a larger impact.
