With this critical understanding, we can begin to deconstruct the increased hypervisibility and tokenism, isolation and exclusion that female chemists of colour (and others) experience. I don’t know what it’s like to want to return to an HBCU [Historically Black College and University] to teach, but I know it’s important to you.’ While so many others ignored such a core part of my identity, in those moments, I felt seen and, in turn, valued. She shows us that if we want everyone with the potential to contribute to our most pressing scientific challenges to join our ranks, we must look more carefully at the existing institutions and toxic cultures into which we expect people to contort themselves. This persisting gap can only be explained using an intersectional approach that acknowledges that women of colour employed in science and engineering are more likely to be divorced, separated or never married, slightly more likely to have children in the household, and more likely to be unemployed or underemployed. One evening during a time in which I felt invisible and unwelcome in science, I succumbed to the hype of Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty What was most impactful for me was seeing the range of models in the show: voluptuous to svelte, albino to dark-skinned, young to old, disabled to non-disabled, feminine to androgynous to masculine.

At first glance, that looks a lot like parity; however, a closer look reveals that only 11% of the degrees were earned by women from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, who comprise 17.7% of the population. As a Black/Creole and Asian, remarried mother of a six-year-old and only child to ageing parents, I can attest to the challenges this brings forth. The Barbados-born music icon and entrepreneur had the media’s attention as the world’s wealthiest female musician, even before welcoming her first child and headlining the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.
