About this podcast
Race in STEM is a global community of empowered people of colour in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics space. Our platform is a vessel for collaboration, a catalyst for career opportunities, and a safe, judgement-free space to share one another’s experiences and ideas. Through unity, our network represents a chance to change the reality of work, challenge stereotypes, and amplify the voices of the unheard as we continue our journey towards a more equitable future for all.
