Meet Sarah Adewumi, A Science Communicator At NASA Who Went From Pageant Queen To An Advocate For Black Girls In STEM

“One person that really inspired me was my father. He definitely encouraged me and my sisters and all of my siblings to do whatever we wanted in STEM,” Adewumi told AfroTech in an interview. “So, that really ignited something within me that I can do whatever I want no matter if I have other interests in fashion, style, and pageantry. That’s what made me continue going. Along the way, as I started to do internships and get involved in the industry, I started to see that there are so many amazing people doing great things, especially women in the industry.”
