We create industry awareness and diversity in cybersecurity, privacy, and STEM through mentorships, scholarships, webinars, conferences, and community outreach. 

Mentoring from experience and leading with passion, we are the catalysts for the next empowered generation in cybersecurity.

According to recent statistics, there are currently 3.5 million job opportunities available worldwide in the field of cybersecurity. However, only 25% of those jobs are held by women. To address this disparity, the BGiC Foundation (also known as Black Girls in Cyber) was established in Atlanta, GA. On June 3, 2021, it received its 501(c)3 designation. 

The mission of BGiC is to promote diversity in cybersecurity, privacy, and STEM fields, with a particular focus on women of color. The organization partners with forward-thinking companies to provide mentorship, scholarships, training, community outreach activities, and events to help cultivate a pipeline of qualified women who can serve their communities in these crucial roles.

To further this mission, I decided to personally partner with 15 other trailblazing women in cybersecurity to form The Black Woman in Cyber Collective, a Co-authorship journey. These women are leaders in their organizations, entrepreneurs, mothers, immigrants, engineers, architects, hackers, and pillars in their communities. Together, we have written "Securing Our Future," a book that celebrates the brilliance and resilience of Black Women in Cyber. Remember to grab your copy of thought-provoking, inspirational.
