"Passionate about science and technology? Don't keep it to yourself! As minority men and women, it is important to openly express our excitement for STEM fields. Here's why:
Inspiration and impact: Representation matters. Kids need to see people who look like them who have faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and made a difference in the world. By sharing our passion for science and technology, we can inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators from underrepresented communities.
Identity mirror: Seeing someone who looks like us in a position we aspire to can be a powerful motivator. By being visible and vocal about our love for STEM, we provide a mirror for young people who may not have seen themselves reflected in the field before. Representation in books, media, and real-life role models can help shape a child's sense of self and possibilities for the future.
Building connections: When we openly share our passion for science and technology, we create opportunities to connect with others who share our interests. Networking and mentorship are critical components of success in any field, and by building these connections, we can help each other navigate the challenges and opportunities in STEM.
So, whether it's through social media, community events, or just talking to young people in our lives, let's share our excitement for science and technology and help pave the way for a more diverse and inclusive future in STEM."
