Published September 29, 2020 By : Staff Writer
A trailblazing human resources manager, Ms. Monica Emerson is no stranger to progressive policies and programs.
She has supported diversity in the automotive industry in Detroit, Michigan, and multicultural events like the Women of Color STEM Conference, and has acted as National Chair of the Women of Color (WOC) STEM Alumnae organization for more than a decade. She’s been attending the annual event for twice as long.
This year, she will preside over a virtual event, helping to combine WOC STEM seminars, workshops, career fairs, and award shows, with a more expanded online offering.
“Our young girls have so much talent and are so brilliant that with just a small amount of support, service, encouragement, and mentoring, they can do so much,” she said recently on a podcast. “They come to the Women of Color STEM Conference and they are encouraged to meet someone who looks like them, who is an engineer, or a scientist, or mathematician. Or a college professor. Or an astronaut, who says and you too can fulfill your dream. You can be this or whatever you want to be. Don’t let anyone deter you, or stand in your way.”
