    Being out of work is no fun, you can't spend on what you want you are tied to where you are and you can't contribute to society. It is also difficult for many as they are faced with people who are there to help but offer little if nothing because they are not capable of seeing themselves what you seek. To them you need a job, full stop, they don't care what and why and that is where it all breaks down. There are solutions and opportunities, Governments have targets and that's it they don't care whether you are happy or not as long as you fill a target place so the journey can be lonely. But you can do it and with a good attitude you can make it too.

    Drawing on narratives from hundreds of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous individuals, Ebony Omotola McGee examines the experiences of underrepresented racially minoritized students and faculty members who have succeeded in STEM.Black, Brown, Bruised reveals the challenges that underrepresented racially minoritized students confront in order to succeed in these exclusive, usually all-White, academic and professional realms. The book provides searing accounts of racism inscribed on campus, in the lab, and on the job, and portrays learning and work environments as arenas rife with racial stereotyping, conscious and unconscious bias, and micro-aggressions. As a result, many students experience the effects of a racial battle fatigue—physical and mental exhaustion borne of their hostile learning and work environments—leading them to abandon STEM fields entirely.McGee offers policies and practices that must be implemented to ensure that STEM education and employment become more inclusive including internships, mentoring opportunities, and curricular offerings. Such structural changes are imperative if we are to reverse the negative effects of racialized STEM and unlock the potential of all students to drive technological innovation and power the economy.
