There is a dominant Discourse that juxtaposes science and Black cultures. This Discourse limits who can be a scientist and creates a racist, seemingly objective landscape in which Black individuals must persevere.

A growing body of research shows that principal turnover is higher among people of racialized backgrounds (Meyer et al, 2020), associated with lower rates of student proficiency (Grissom & Bartanen, 2021) and most often is due to environmental conditions (Levin, Bradley & Scott, 2019). In partnership with the San Francisco Unified School…

It is critical to pave the way for more women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Despite the need for an increased workforce, women remain underrepresented in technology careers and particularly technology leadership (Tomaskovic-Devey & Han, 2018). Furthermore, there is a lack of research on how STEM recruiting and…

Many professions have emerged from the early ages to the present day. In this context, cooking is an ancient profession that has been done by people since ancient times.
