To empower and inspire the next generation of Black women in S.T.E.A.M.

As a lifelong advocate for women and girls — and as the proud mother of two young Black adults — I have spent much of my life believing in the limitless potential that exists within our communities when opportunity, exposure, and encouragement meet preparation.

Black Girls Go Global was born from both purpose and possibility.

As I entered what I proudly call the fourth quarter of my life, I became intentional about how I wanted to invest my time, energy, and legacy. I knew I wanted to create something meaningful that would open doors for the next generation of Black girls — especially in spaces where they have historically been underrepresented and too often overlooked.

That is why Black Girls Go Global exists.

We are committed to exposing Black girls to the power and possibilities of S.T.E.A.M. — Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics — while expanding their worldview and helping them see themselves as global citizens. We believe learning should extend beyond textbooks and classrooms. Through immersive experiences, cultural exchange, innovation, and hands-on discovery, we create opportunities for girls to imagine bigger, think globally, and lead boldly.

Representation matters. Access matters. Exposure matters.

When we invest in Black girls, we invest in innovation. We invest in leadership. We invest in stronger communities and a brighter future for all of us.

My hope is that every girl who engages with Black Girls Go Global walks away knowing that her voice matters, her ideas belong, and the world is not only available to her — it is waiting for her.

Peacefully,

Alma Garcia
Founder & Executive Director
