She, DISRUPTS

Black women and girls are underrepresented in the STEM fields. In 2019, only 28% of the STEM workforce was female, and only 3% of that workforce was black. This digital skill gap has several negative consequences, both for black women and girls themselves and for society. Black women and girls are less likely to have access to high-quality education in STEM fields and are more likely to face discrimination and harassment in the workplace. As a result, they are less likely to be hired for STEM jobs, and they are more likely to leave STEM jobs early. The lack of black women in STEM fields has several negative consequences for society. SHE, DISRUPTS is the book that will change the way the industry sees itself.
