“Malika’s true-life story was delivered with sincerity, passion, humor, and emotion (words not usually associated with a Ph.D. S.T.E.M Professional). She held the audience in the palm of her hand from the beginning to the end of her marvelous journey. She certainly knows how to capture--and hold--one's attention. By the end of her presentation, she has you leaving the talk with the feeling that "can't doesn't belong in your vocabulary"!”

“We invited Dr. Grayson to speak to our physics and engineering students. As a professor mentoring students - although it’s been over a month - I still directly reference her talk. It was so powerful that the students immediately get it. I highly recommend you invite Dr. Grayson to come speak to your students.”

I had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Grayson for the Department of Microbiology and Immunology Seminar at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry where she presented her talk entitled "From Graduate School to Industry: My Journey As A Minority Woman In STEM". Dr. Grayson did an amazing job of sharing her experiences as a black woman navigating graduate school and the development of her career. She invoked a lot of thought and reflection within the audience on the necessity of representation and the importance of diversity and inclusion in both academia and industry. We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to hear Dr. Drayson's perspectives and have benefited greatly from her talk.
