Prologue to Greatness: Author, Astrophysicist, and Mentor

5/12/2023

 
Picture
Maryam Esmat’s 24 years of life have played out like a greatest hits album. She’s graced the pages of Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30 for her work in astrophysics and donned the title of the youngest published author in the Middle East — yet, if you ask her where we are in her life’s story, she’d tell you we’ve only read the prologue.

Maryam is currently pursuing her PhD at  Johns Hopkins University, and if that’s any indication, her story is shaping up to be one for the history books.

Escaping 1977 Vietnam: Finding a Place to Belong

2/7/2023

 
Picture
1977 — In a year remembered for the Fall of Saigon and Black April, Danny Nguyen and his family were caught in the middle of a war-torn Vietnam. 

Call it courage or call it desperation — Danny’s parents wanted a better life for their four children, and if that meant sailing out into the dark, cold ocean to find it, then so be it. 

The VP of Administrative Services at Mission College you see today is in stark contrast to the four-year-old who’d just landed in America in 1977. As the saying goes, “sometimes you have to lose yourself to find who you are.”

Rewriting the Code: Black Women in STEM

1/19/2023

 
Picture
Jessie Gentles is the 3%. The world of IT has thrived as a highly-lucrative, high-growth industry — but the caveat? You’re not going to find many Black women crowding in to become the next IT specialist. 

As a Jamaican-born woman and software engineering student at Miami University, Jessie represents a demographic that’s shied away from IT — one that’s representing only 3% of the IT space, but she’s not alone. 

Jessie is a Black Wings Hackathon Committee Member. Black Wings is a small, but growing community of 950+ women within Rewriting the Code, a non-profit organization that represents minority populations in the tech space.

Breaking Societal Norms: Women Do Belong in STEM

10/3/2022

 
Picture
Juliana Pereira is a trailblazer; raised by a single mother in Florianópolis, Brazil, she learned at an early age that there’s nothing women can’t do. She began college at the age of 16 and earned her degree in journalism. Her desire to impact the world led her to forego that degree in pursuit of civil engineering. The journey that ensued saw her traveling to five countries, with Juliana making a lasting difference wherever she went. Today, Juliana is continuing to pave the way for women in engineering at Purdue University. Join us for part one of our two-part interview!

Court's in Session: Restarting a Law Career in a New Country: Episode 13 with Rezarta Mataj

9/16/2022

 
Picture
Rezarta Mataj had already achieved a great deal in her career at a  young age — a federal judge by the age of 24, a lovely family soon after, and the accolades to be an adjunct professor at public and private law schools all across Albania. There was one caveat, however; she couldn’t rid herself of the thought that she’d be able to build a better life for herself and her family in the U.S. Rezarta took a leap of faith, and the future she envisioned started to take shape. Arizona State University gave her a chance, and she’s well on her way to reclaiming everything she once had and more.
