🎉 Black Girls Love Math: 5-Year Anniversary Campaign

“See HER in STEM” 🧬🔬🧪

This year marks a profound milestone—five incredible years since BGLM was founded in 2020 by Philadelphia-native Atiyah Harmon, a former math teacher and leader with over 20 years of experience. What began as a vision to disrupt racial and gender inequities has grown into a dynamic community supporting hundreds of girls in STEM.

STEM workforce consists of women, and of these women, less than 10% are BIPOC. Black, Latina, and Indigenous women are especially underrepresented in STEM fields, particularly in the engineering, life sciences, and computer science workforce.

💜 Our Why

Black Girls Love Math exists to eliminate racial and gender inequality in mathematics, fostering positive math identities among Black girls through culturally responsive teaching, community, and mentorship.

🌱 What We Do

Afterschool & Weekend Learning: Frequent small-group sessions that spark joy in grade-level and advanced math concepts

Math Competitions & STEM Career Exploration: Cooperative challenges focused on real-world, social justice problems, career panels, and STEM mentorship

Professional Development: Training educators in culturally responsive instruction to foster real, lasting change in classrooms.

Our 2025 5-Year Campaign: “See HER in STEM”

This campaign is our love letter to:

The trailblazing women who opened doors;

The girls thriving in BGLM programming today;

The future leaders rising because we made room.
