In this episode of Black. Girl. Iowa., I’m joined by Dr. Cimone Wright-Hamor — engineer, educator, and powerful advocate for Black girls and women in STEM. From growing up in Cedar Rapids to earning her Ph.D., Cimone shares how early struggles in school, mentorship, and intentional planning shaped her journey and her purpose.We talk about what it’s like to be underestimated in white-dominated spaces, the power of seeing yourself represented, and why it’s okay not to bring every version of yourself into every room. She also opens up about how childhood trauma can show up in adult communication and why understanding your story can shift your future.Follow Cimone!Facebook: HeyCimone!Website: www.heycimone.comPurchase Cimone's Book on Amazon: Manufactured Education: Leveraging College to Accelerate Your Career Without Selling Your SoulWant More Black.
