• Today's #VolunteerMonth spotlight is Michelle Platt, who helps run our Expanding Your Horizons conference at Edmonds College! Michelle loves introducing girls to careers and pathways they may have never considered before. She says she enjoys volunteering with Techbridge Girls because it is really amazing being around these successful women in STEM fields and helping them share their stories with the conference attendees. Many of the girls who attended expressed that they never considered STEM before, and are now changing their minds, and are so happy to have been able to explore STEM and interact with these women professionals in STEM Fields. Thank you, Michelle!

  • Environmental activist @israhirsi is no stranger to standing up for what she believes in. In her 2020 TEDx talk, she recalls talking about community issues and political campaigns at home and going to protests while growing up. She doesn't just want more representation amongst climate activists; she wants people to understand how intersectionality plays a role within the climate justice movement. Once called an angry Black girl, she now shares: If being an angry Black girl means changing the national conversation, then I will always and forever be glad to be an angry Black girl.” Check out her TEDx Talk to hear more from this brilliant young woman. #EarthMonth
