When I attended my first geology conference, I felt alone. As a queer, mixed-race, socialized-female person, I didn't see anyone else like me. I know that there are so many marginalized peoples pursing and immersing themselves in the sciences, and I am now on a quest to raise up those voices! On this site, I will be collecting photos and interviews of underrepresented people in STEM to serve as a resource and a reminder of the diverse voices that exist in our fields.
