Who Can Learn From The Legendary Collection?
Corporate
With the inclusion of The Legendary deck, corporate groups can engage in informative and engaging activities that assist in the creation of a workplace that centers the advancement of racial and gender equity.
Schools
The nation’s youth deserves to learn about the many figures that have been erased out of history books and unaccredited for their achievements in STEM. Teachers can incorporate the legendary deck into their curriculum and use the legendary deck as a supplement for their classroom activities.
Personal
Living in a fast-paced world where it is the norm to find each other juggling work, family and a myriad of other commitments The Legendary’s 11 reflection cards can help recenter your positionally and think critically about race, adversity and the challenges that underrepresented women face.
Social
Our social settings are crucial to the sharing of ideas and knowledge. We can make significant progress for the inclusion of marginalized peoples in industries and spaces they have historically been left out from by starting conversations at home and with our social circle
The Legendary card set is a beautiful way to honor the legacies of Black and Indigenous women of color who forged successful STEM careers. UW Health and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health are proud to share the cards with our Black / African American Employee Resource Group members to celebrate their own careers in health care and pass along the stories of legendary women to others.

I think a tool like The Legendary Cards are way overdue as a way to encourage and inspire girls, particularly girls of color, that they can pursue and succeed in careers in academically rigorous fields
