Katrina Miller was used to being the only Black woman in the physics classroom. But when she got to grad school, the very white, very male environment became oppressive–and she started to dream about quitting.

Facing frequent microaggressions from her colleagues and feeling like she didn’t fit in, Miller turned to Google for signs of Black women who had come before her—to reassure herself that someone had once done what she was trying to do. She stumbled upon a database simply titled The Physicists, maintained by an organization called African American Women in Physics. Through it, she started to piece together the history of Black women in her department.

Read the WIRED feature on what she found, and the unwritten laws of physics for Black women at the 🔗 in our bio.

  1. Wow!! Wired and rare Knowledge indeed. Am intrigued by the aim of this project 🤖🤖

  2. Why is it that neither Latinos, Asians or any other ethnic group for that matter complain about the ethnic distribution in graduate schools? Who cares! Maybe Katrina should stop whining and blaming her “issues” on skin color differences and focus on her education instead of creating even more division with her black women in physics group. I don’t see any “Asians in physics” groups getting created. Grow up and stop blaming your problems on “white people”.

  6. Thanks  @kimberly_entrepreneur_ for providing such a great site. I can honestly say that the education I obtain after joining your site in just a few short months has drastically changed helped me to become a more successful  @kimberly_entrepreneur_ i have gained more knowledge and experience in just a few months than the last 3months I spent with indicators base system because they don’t just teach support / resistance and trend lines as your site does thanks again  @kimberly_entrepreneur_

  7. I didn’t do anything special, I simply followed @kimberly_entrepreneur_ debt by snowball method. Paying the smallest debt first then working our way up. It became a game for us and I loved to see our total number come down weekly. Hard work can take you anywhere you want as long as you put your mind to it. For us it took more than the reqular 8-5 each week to do this. anyone trying to pay off debt to hang in there and keep pushing. Financial freedom isn’t easy, but worth it. In our generation it’s something that isn’t talked about or educated near enough. No matter how young or old you are, you CAN do it! Excited to start saving up to purchase a home next year! God has blessed us in so many ways on our journey and truly has given us the ability to make this happen @kimberly_entrepreneur_
