Women’s History Month is Here!
Women’s History Month celebrates the contributions women have made to our country and recognizes the specific achievements they have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. In Women’s History Month 2021, the United States has its first woman vice-president, the most diverse presidential cabinet (with the first Indigenous cabinet member, a Dakota woman), and the first transgender person to a Senate-confirmed post. While 2020 was a tough year of layoffs that disproportionately impacted women, it also saw the number of female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies reach a record of 37.

Black History & STEM Leaders in the Denver Metro Area
While it may be March, and Black History month has come to a close, (look out for some great Women's History Month resources coming soon!) we continue to celebrate the Black leaders of our community! Last week, we recognized the awesome local figures, past and present, who had a critical impact in film, government, entrepreneurship, and so much more. This week, we’re highlighting Black STEM leaders as well as some additional entrepreneurs and game-changers, both within our own DSST community and across the Denver Metro Area, who are paving the way for the breakthroughs of the future.

Black History in the Denver Metro Area
The journey of Black History and the history of minoritized and marginalized groups, individuals and communities cannot be lost as time goes by. The era of greatness and contribution continues. Although some will consider Black History, just that - history, DSST pushes against that ideology and narrative. Instead, we continue to spotlight Black pioneers in the Denver Metro Area, of the past and present, to help our community recognize and value the history within our own backyard. Black history is not relegated to the southern states nor the east coast. Black history’s presence and contribution stretches from “sea to shining sea” and most definitely within the “purple mountain’s majesty”. Here are examples of Black History in the Denver Metro Area showcasing entrepreneurship, STEM, education, sports, politics, arts and entertainment.
