A message from our founder…
I want to let my young sisters know it’s fun, dope and attainable to be a scientist, engineer, mathematician, astronaut, software developer, or anything they want to be; and moreover, connect with colleagues of similar experience. We aim to inspire the scientist in each and every one of us because presence, opportunity and outreach are key. No matter your race, gender, or creed, I believe there is something in everyone that can identify with BlackGirlScientist. God gives us all a passion – something that breaks our hearts or moves us – and corresponding purpose to carry out during our amazing time here on earth. This is part of mine. I believe we are all scientists in some way and BlackGirlScientist exists to draw that out. Whatever your “laboratory” is in this life, let’s get to it, do good work, and have fun along the way.
~Dr. Kameron J. King, founder
