Who Said You Can't: African American Women in Science

"Who Said You Can't: African American Women in Science" is an excellent documentary. It's about eight African American women - some present, some trailblazers who worked in the past - who have laid down a groundwork for other women of color to follow them into the sciences. The interviews in the film are wonderful. We get a sense of how men were historically allowed to go forward in the sciences, while women, especially of color, were denied those opportunities. And how these courageous, intelligent women broke in to the sciences nonetheless, and are inspiring younger women to follow in their footsteps. In times of climate change and pandemics, few things could be more important than STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) knowledge. And beyond that macro importance, women fighting for inclusion is just incredibly inspiring. These are real life "Hidden Figures" women. I loved this doc and can't recommend it enough.
