The Legendary Card Collection

A card collection which celebrates and amplifies the stories and contributions of Black, Indigenous, Women of Color (BIWoC) in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields (STEM). Each card features a prompt for critical reflection, encouraging us to seek and embody equity in our everyday lives.

“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.”
