Breaking Down Barriers: Women of Color in the Sciences

The science field is so diverse and opportunties are endless in what to research. It is so important to every aspect of our lives from genetics to agriculture because we are part of science from birth to the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the health we have and the environment we live in. Women and Women of Color should venture into this field without fear of the time and education needed to better improve our world.
Who better then the women, who bears, nourish, and care for our future generation in any environment to take the sciences seriously, as a growing field for many opportunities in learning and discovering how we can make it better.
I, a Women of Color who is much older, am finding this field to have so many questions, answers and discoveries that will improve all our ways of living. Reading these findings everyday does not fail to astonish me. So Women of Color and Women in general, do not pass by the opportunity to donate whatever your mind can discover. We have been in the background far too long and its time to step up to the challenges that will make this world better.
