Hi I'm Dr. Wallace
I was a tenured professor with 20 years of experience as a funded researcher. I taught graduate and undergraduate students in STEM. After mentoring hundreds of students, post-docs and early career professionals over the years, I realized that women of color in particular were extremely talented and technically skilled but were lacking the support they needed to succeed. I created Women of Color Leadership Lab because I recognized that our world needs YOU and I wanted to build something to support you on your journey to Thriving in STEM.

Would you like to have a place where you can ask questions and share your journey while getting support from others who know what that journey is like?
Would you like to access a dedicated private space where you can reimagine your visions for your career success, acknowledge and gain tools to overcome the challenges you experience as a woman or color in STEM while honoring your cultural strengths?
