Spelman College | Morgan Stanley Scholar | Emory University 2024 LGS Summer Mentee | Public Speaker | Teen Vogue 21u21 | People Magazine 2021 Girls Changing the World |
I’m thrilled to announce that I am accepting speaking engagements for Black History Month and Women’s History Month. My focus areas include empowering talks on being Black in STEM2 (math and medicine) advocacy, philanthropy, service, representation, scholarship, neurodivergence (#ADHD), and mental health! I am a Morgan Stanley Scholar at the number 1 HBCU, Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. I am a writer, producer, advocate, philanthropist, board member, and national speaker. I have donated over 25,000 books and counting to organizations and homes through my Taylors Take Flight with a Book Drive, raised and donated over $350,000 to various initiatives, funded and supported annual Thanksgiving Luncheons and Back to School events that have fed and supplied 1000s to my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, inspired STEM and neurodivergent activities through TV, film, apparel and dolls. And as I study to become a doctor, scientist, and one of the first Black women to go to Mars, my focus is shining a light on inclusion and diversity through my advocacy and philanthropy work. And through that work, my legacy is to bring a sisterhood of warriors with me all the way to the stars by disrupting the status quo where girls like me have equal representation at the tables. My goal is simple to inspire and transform the STEM space for Black girls and women and for the better. Having had the privilege of speaking locally, nationally and internationally for the last 11 years (I’m 20 now so been in the game since 9yo) I bring a wealth of experience both in-person and virtually. So let’s talk! I am eager to collaborate and bring empowering insights to your audience. Connect with me and let’s make a positive impact together! Go to my website https://lnkd.in/eagZQrxX or send an email directly to my team: [email protected] to connect. As I always said, Representtion Matters, so get used to me, because I am not going anywhere! 💫 SN: If we have met virtually or in person or if I have made an impact or inspired you give me a like, share, or comment! Tagging a few who have inspired me over the years! Jess Weiner, Emily Calandrelli, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, Eunique Jones Gibson,Jerome Foster II, Simon Frederick, Frederick Joseph, Kelsea Little, Musa Tariq, Jeanne Byrd Adams, Illana Raia to name a few!

Providing a safe community for others to be authentic and focus on well-being and inner peace. | Master Career Coach | Certified Professional Photographer | TV & Video Podcast Host
Remember the global outcry in 2020 after George Floyd's public murder? The world united under the banner of Black Lives Matter, pushing for justice and systemic change. Fast forward to today: Has the momentum been sustained, or has it waned with time? But there's more on the horizon that demands our attention – Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation's proposal, with its potential to redefine societal norms, could significantly impact marginalized groups, especially Black communities. This initiative seeks to recognize only heterosexual men and women, propose the removal of protections against discrimination based on sexual or gender identity, and eliminate DEI provisions from federal legislation. To unpack these critical issues, we're thrilled to have Alieze Harvey, a dedicated community activist, join us. Alieze, with her deep roots in music, art, and activism, will provide insights into the current state of racial justice commitments and the potential repercussions of Project 2025. Join us Friday, June 28th at 4 pm CST/5 pm EST for a guaranteed thought-provoking conversation. Catch the show live on the GRHoustonJack YouTube channel, LinkedIn, or the GRHJack Facebook page. #BlackLivesMatter #Project2025 #RacialJustice #CommunityActivism #Diversity #Equality #Inclusion #GuuuuurlListen #Podcast #SocialJustice #BLM #GRHJack

Have you met METSy? 🤔 This International Women's Day 🌹, let's spotlight why more girls don't pursue STEM. The Microsoft report on girls in STEM highlights several key statistics that emphasize the need for action: * Interest among girls in STEM peaks at around 11 years of age but drops off significantly by the age of 15. * Only a minority of girls who enjoy STEM subjects ultimately pursue a career in this field. Specifically, the report found that although 72% of girls surveyed understood the importance of STEM jobs, only 60% of those girls actually wanted to pursue a career in STEM. * A significant contributor to this disparity is the lack of role models: 63% of the surveyed girls cited a lack of female role models in STEM fields as a key barrier to their engagement. * Additionally, stereotypes and gender biases continue to play a significant role in deterring girls from STEM, with social and cultural expectations influencing their perceptions of these careers as being more suited for males. These statistics underscore the importance of targeted initiatives to engage and retain girls in STEM fields. And this is where METSy appears. The METSy campaign by IT Girls Foundation is a social initiative aimed at breaking gender stereotypes that hinder women's success in STEM fields. It features an interactive doll named METSy. Her statements, generated by artificial intelligence from internet content on raising girls and women's predispositions, highlight social stereotypes. The campaign emphasizes the impact of words on young girls' self-esteem and life choices. The transformation of METSy into STEMmy shows the ways of dealing with harmful stereotypes. The doll also encourages girls to pursue their interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Don't know about you, but we love the idea! On International Women's Day, we wish all girls and women the courage to pursue their passions, no matter what! 🙂 For more details, visit the IT Girls Foundation's METSy campaign page: https://lnkd.in/d788Pvdf or watch the video: https://lnkd.in/dCqQqhbv Microsoft report: https://lnkd.in/e7GXrWkX

Next in our Pride Month art + design organization highlights is Allies In Arts. Allies in Arts’ mission is to support artists who are women, BIPOC, and queer* — all of whom are underrepresented individuals in creative industries. (*Here, “queer” means anyone under the LGBTQQIA2S+ umbrella.) Artists from these communities face barriers as a direct result of race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation. Allies in Arts seeks to break down those barriers by awarding grants, curating exhibitions and screenings, and connecting artists with the decision-makers who can hire them. Allies in Arts is a queer and trans-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It is made up of artists, activists, and educators. All the questions it seeks to answer are questions we’ve been forced to ask ourselves. Learn more at alliesinarts.org #pride🌈 #Pride #PrideMonth #LGBTQQIA2S+ #alliesinarts

😁 Ahem... Clears throat 😛 🤗 Ladies and gentlemen, the secret's finally out! ✅ In the midst of the pandemic, I decided to embark on a new venture that I'm truly passionate about. ✨ I started curating and sending out gift boxes designed to spread joy 🤩, affirmations, and encouragement 😜 to my fellow colleagues, primarily those in the fundraising and philanthropy space, and especially those who identify as people of color. 🎉 The rest, my friends is herstory🎉 I launched Blequity Brands- a Black-owned curated gift box company with a mission to promote radical self-care and economic justice for Black and Brown communities. What makes our gift boxes so special? ✅ First and foremost, they're a reminder to prioritize self-care. ✅ They encourage the practice of self-love. ✅ They inspire us to smile through all the challenges life throws our way. ✅ And, of course, they help us honor our wins, no matter how big or small. ✅ Each gift box features products lovingly crafted by People of Color-led businesses, as well as historically marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ+ community and individuals living with disabilities. I'm especially proud of this photo featuring Dr. Yanique Redwood (Author of White Women Cry and Call me Angry) and myself, as it embodies what I'm most passionate about: 1️⃣ Amplifying the voices of Black leaders. 2️⃣ Celebrating my co-conspirators who are tirelessly working to dismantle the effects of structural racism and racial trauma. Please take a moment to follow Blequity Brands, and feel free to reach out to me for all your corporate gifting needs. We're all about #Inclusivity! 🌟 Plus, when you shop with Blequity Brands, a portion of your purchase will be donated to People-of-Color-led and serving nonprofits fighting the byproducts of structural racism in America. Visit www.BlequityBrands.com to learn more.
