People of African ancestry have contributed to the advancement of science throughout history. Unfortunately, such notable information has not been captured and shared widely. Not only are these achievements not often recognized, the impact such diversity has had on innovation in our society has not been discussed as well.
Therefore the objectives for presentation has been shown to achieve the following:

• Highlight achievements.
• Inspiration (motivation from underrepresented groups)
• Education (raising awareness)
• Promote Diversity (advocating for persons of all backgrounds)
• Address Challenges (for purposes of identifying barriers as well as biases)

This type of presentation helps to be a myth buster and also fosters better team interactions as well as trust building.
