The Year of See Her in STEM

Since 2020, Black Girls Love Math (BGLM) has been on a mission to change the way Black girls see themselves in math. We’ve cultivated positive math identities for over 250 young mathematicians across five cities, from Philadelphia to Brooklyn—but nationally, only 2% of Black women are represented in STEM fields.

This gap isn’t just a number. It’s a story of barriers, missed opportunities, and untapped potential.

With your support, we can change this narrative.

Our Impact So Far

250+ girls served through our Weekend Slam programs
20 teachers trained in culturally responsive math teaching
100% of parents report improved math confidence in their daughters
5 cities reached—and growing every year

Why This Matters

The STEM workforce is growing, yet Black, Latina, and Indigenous women remain severely underrepresented, especially in engineering, life sciences, and computer science. At BGLM, we believe every Black girl deserves the opportunity to reach her full potential in math.

But for too many, math has become a source of fear and anxiety—shaped by racial and gender stereotypes, unequal access to resources, and a lack of role models.

The Year of See Her in STEM: Our Plan

Through this campaign, we will:

Expand Weekend Slams to more cities, reaching hundreds more girls
Train teachers to make math culturally affirming and joyful
Build pathways to AP math classes, college majors, and STEM careers
Advocate for policies that expand access to STEM

Your Gift Will Help Us:

Multiply our impact to more schools and communities
Equip teachers with tools to transform math classrooms
Support families as partners in math confidence-building
Create a generation of fearless learners and future STEM leaders

Join the Year of See Her in STEM

Every dollar brings us closer to a future where Black girls thrive in math and lead in STEM careers.

Because when you see her in STEM, you change the equation for generations to come.

Donate today. Be the reason she sees herself as a mathematician.
