As an Afro-Latina self-taught programmer and incoming NASA Software Engineer, I understand the importance and necessity of representation. I’ve partnered with Black Girls CODE to create the ‘Black Girls CODE the Future’ coloring book to inspire and empower young women of color with illustrations where they can see themselves reflected. To learn more about me and my inspiration for this coloring book, check out this link. Here's the link to the coloring book I'd LOVE if you checked it out!

Unfortunately, a lot of women, particularly women of color, don't get the opportunity to see themselves as role models in the tech world. I wanted to challenge this narrative by highlighting 15 outstanding STEM pioneers and images of young girls/women engaged in various STEM activities.
