The Power of a Single DollarDr. Moore never imagined a simple tweet could spark a revolution. As a highly qualified marine scientist, she still felt an outsider in her chosen field. It was a feeling echoed by troubling statistics:
Years of earning accolades and respect couldn't erase a sense of exclusion within a field she loved. Then came the sobering realization: decades of diversity initiatives had barely moved the needle.
That's when Dr. Moore created Black In Marine Science (BIMS). It was a bold declaration against performative diversity and a rallying cry for genuine change. That's where YOU come in. |
