Have you ever dreamed of becoming a doctor one day? Do you have a passion for math or science? Would you like to pursue an undergraduate degree in science, technology, engineering, math (STEM)? If you answered yes to one of these questions, then this text is for you!
The text draws upon the personal narratives of 16 undergraduate African American women who had aspirations of pursuing undergraduate degrees that led to careers in medicine, health professions, engineering, or mathematical fields. The book begins by telling their success stories and love for math and science in K-12 settings. It then discusses their stories of trials, triumphs, and even some tragedies when pursuing their undergraduate degrees at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). A discussion on how they built a sense of community, that is a sense of belonging in their majors is described as well.
The text describes why some African American girls and women leave STEM field and why others stick with pursuing their undergraduate STEM degrees. Despite enduring challenges in their majors, all 16 of resilient African American women completed undergraduate degrees in health science, social science, and/or STEM majors.
Careers that these women pursued were medical doctors, scientists, mathematicians by way of finance, engineer, business professional, and human resources professionals.
Recommendations include, the teaching methods that match the learning styles for African American girls and women pursuing STEM fields from elementary school to middle school, high school, and college; and ways community can be built for them while pursuing their STEM degrees.
The book is a must read for girls, women, and minority women, and minorities who want to pursue STEM fields and medical degrees at predominantly white institutions, families, educators, administrators, and policymakers.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
