The Black Girls CODE, a training project for African-American girls.

Kimberly Bryant was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee (USA) and from a young age she already had a certain interest in mathematics and science and, although she was often a minority in classes, she continued to develop her abilities in the scope. So much so that he studied Mathematics and Electrical Engineering at Vanderbilt University, where he was his alma mater.

Throughout his professional life, Bryant has worked in various electronics, biotechnology and, later, even pharmaceutical companies; but, without a doubt, his big project would arrive in 2011 alongside his daughter, Kai.

Kai, like her mother, is also driven by an interest in mathematics and computer science. When Kimberly Bryant noticed her daughter's interest in computer programming and saw that there were no programming courses offered for African-American girls – most courses were aimed at boys – she decided to start the Black Project Girls CODE. After her experience working and studying at the same time, Bryant wanted her daughter to have better opportunities, so in 2011 she founded the non-profit organization to empower African-American girls to develop skills in the field and better give them the opportunity to grow in it. In other words, it's a way to open the door to STEM for minorities.

Without going any further, in 2013 Business Insider listed her as one of the "25 Most Influential Afro-Americans in Technology". Also this year, the White House in Washington named her as a Change Winner for Technological Inclusion. And last February of this same year, the National Society of Black Physicists honored her as the founder of Black Girls CODE.

Without a doubt, Kimberly Bryant is a reference for girls all over the world, especially for African-American girls who, like Rosa Parks, believe in a better world for everyone.
