Since the dawn of time, the contributions of women have often been overshadowed by their male counterparts, and the achievements of Black women even more so. Yet, hidden beneath the layers of historical biases and systemic obstacles lies a remarkable truth: Black women have played an integral role in shaping the world we inhabit today.
In a world that often turned a blind eye to their potential, Black women have risen to prominence as inventors, problem solvers, and pioneers.
In this video, we will shine a light on the stories of unsung heroines who altered the trajectory of human advancement. We will celebrate the brilliance of those who developed life saving medical techniques, revolutionized the way we communicate, and engineered novel solutions to everyday challenges.
