Black women face a very specific and unique set of stereotypes that strain the degree of their engagement in many societal and public spheres. One such rarely-investigated sphere is the STEM fields, where black women are exceptionally underrepresented. In response to an academic Documentary Video Challenge, my colleagues and I at Drake University sought to investigate the social dynamics at play that discourage black women specifically from pursuing scientific disciplines and inhibit or ameliorate their opportunities for success in their fields.
