It’s that time of year again! After 2 years of impactful virtual symposiums, I am so excited to be back LIVE for year 3 speaking and meeting the young ladies of the Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy (BELA). BELA is a charter school located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn and this years’ focus is “My Chair: A Voice of Transformation,” which stems from the great Shirley Chisholm’s quote “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” As a women in STEM, I will be sharing my journey with my “folding chair” and lessons as well as listening to our next generation of leaders striving to create change in the world. 💪🏽🪑

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the day that federal troops arrived in Galvenston, TX in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. Their arrival came two and half years after the signing of the Emanipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the US and is considered the longest running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021 it officially became a federal holiday that is recognized throughout the country. We hope that you take time today to celebrate this historic day.

During Women in Construction Week, when Carly Curtin was asked, "What advice would you give to other women entering the industry now?", she answered with the above quote. As women in the construction industry, we realize that this is an important quote to live by every day. It is essential for women in our industry to continue to break barriers and take your seat at the table. Our voices deserve to be heard and our ideas recognized. We hope that this week gives increased visibility to women in construction and urges more immersion into the industry that we love.

This week kicks off the beginning of Women in Construction Week. Women in Construction Week highlights women as a visible component in the construction industry. It also raises awareness about the opportunities available for women who are construction workers. During this week, we especially would like to highlight our very own Founder and President, Candice Prentiss. As a woman in construction, Candice has successfully navigated the male-dominated construction industry for nearly 20 years. Being an industry that only consists of 9% women, Candice and so many other women have paved the way for others and have begun to normalize the presence of women in construction. This week, please be sure to join us in recognizing and celebrating women in construction. Visit https://www.nawic.org/nawic/WIC_Week_Resources.asp to find additional WIC resources and learn how you can support their mission.

We at CAP Global Works are so excited to celebrate the start of Women's History Month! As a minority, woman-owned business, this month is very significant for us. Women-owned businesses make up about 40% of businesses in the US, with 50% of those women-owned businesses are run by women of color. This month, we just want to celebrate and recognize the women who continue to break down the barriers and blaze paths for those that come after us. Over these next few weeks we encourage you all to celebrate and recognize women this month and beyond.

Our final trailblazer of STEM is Mae Jemison. Jemison was born on October 17, 1956 in Decatur, AL. From a very early age, Jemison knew she wanted to study science. She grew up watching the Apollo airings on TV, but was upset that there were no female astronauts. By watching African-American actress Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek, she was inspired to one day go to space. Jemison attended Stanford University and graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts degree in African and African-American studies.
Upon graduating, Jemison attended medical school at Cornell Medical School becoming a general doctor and opening a private practice. However, once Sally Ride became the first American woman in space in 1983, Jemison decided to apply to the astronaut program at NASA. She was one of the 15 applicants chosen out of over 2,000 applicants. On September 12, 1992, Jemison and six other astronauts went into space on the space shuttle Endeavor. On this voyage, Jemison made history as the first African-American woman in space.
After leaving NASA in 1993, Jemison started the Jemison Group, a consulting company that encourages science, technology and social change. She also began teaching environmental studies at Dartmouth College and directed the Jemison Institute for Advancing Technology in Developing Countries.
Currently, Jemison is leading the 100 Year Starship project through the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which aims to make sure that human space travel to another star is possible within the next 100 years. She has also received multiple awards and honorary degrees for her amazing work. We are honored to have Jemison close out STEM trailblazers for Black History Month.

This week's trailblazer in STEM is Neil deGrasse Tyson. Tyson was born October 5, 1958 in New York. When he was nine years old, Tyson's interest in astronomy was sparked by a trip to the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. He obtained his bachelor's degree in physics from Harvard University and his master's degree in astronomy from the University of Texas where he began writing a question-and-answer column for the college's popular astronomy magazine, StarDate.
Tyson then earned a master's and a doctorate in astrophysics from Columbia University. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University from 1991-1994 when he joined the Hayden Planetarium as a staff scientist where he then became acting director in 1995 and director in 1996.
Aside from his work, Tyson has written several books, including his autobiography The Sky is Not the Limit: Adventures of an Urban Astrophysicist. Over the years, Tyson has been primarily known for popularizing science on TV and radio. In 2015, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences awarded Tyson the Public Welfare Medal for his "extraordinary role in exciting the public about the wonders of science."
As an industry that can be easily overlooked, we appreciate Tyson for bringing awareness and recognition to a field that we love.

Our next trailblazer in STEM is Katherine Johnson. Johnson was born on August 26, 1918 in White Sulphur Springs, WV. Johnson showed strong mathematical abilities at an early age. She graduated high school at the age of 14 and attended West Virginia State where she graduated summa cm laude in 1937 with a degree in mathematics and French at the age of 18.
Although it was hard for African American women to enter this field at the time, Katherine decided to pursue a career as a research mathematician. In June 1953, she was hired by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) as a computer until 1958. She was then assigned to the Guidance and Control Division of Langley's Flight Research Division, which was staffed by all white male engineers.
From 1958 until her retirement in 1986, Johnson worked as an aerospace technologist where she contributed to a substantial part of American history. She calculated the trajectory for the May 5, 1961 space flight of Alan Shepard who was the first American in space. She also calculated the launch window for his 1961 Mercury mission as well as plotting backup navigation charts for astronauts in case of electronic failures. Until her 1986 retirement, she assisted with several legendary NASA initiatives.
Upon retirement and until her death in 2020, Katherine spent her later years encouraging students to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. She has been coined an "American hero" and that "her pioneering legacy will never be forgotten." We are honored to recognize her for the amazing accomplishments she has made as an African American woman in STEM.

Our first Black History Month feature of African-American trailblazers in STEM is New Orleans’ own, Dr. Calvin Mackie. Dr. Mackie is a graduate of Morehouse College, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude, and also graduated with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech, where he then earned both his Master’s and Ph.d. in Mechanical Engineering in 1996.
While earning his doctorate degree, Dr. Mackie served as an instructor of mathematics at Morehouse college and later joined the faculty as an Engineering Professor at Tulane University.
More recently, Dr. Mackie founded STEM NOLA, which is a non-profit organization whose aim is to expose, inspire and engage future innovators, leaders, entrepreneurs and communities in learning about opportunities in STEM. Since 2013, STEM NOLA has engaged over 100,00 students, mostly under-served students, in hands-on STEM project based learning. His message and life’s mission continues to transcend race, gender, ethnicity, religion and time and we are honored to include him as one of our STEM trailblazers.
