I gotta ask, how did it take 42 years for her contributions to finally get some recognition? I mean, you'd think that after all those decades of dedication and hard work, someone would've noticed by now... or at least, there should be a paper trail (no pun intended ) somewhere. Sources on this belated recognition please! And also, what's with the "turning point" in 2018? Was it just a random sorority trying to make some headlines? How many people from AKA are connected to Dr. West, and how did they know about her achievements so long after she retired?
Dr Gladys West wasnt just some genius who solved math problems she was a real life hero She broke so many rules just by existing at that time period And yeah it's wild that people didn't know about her till like 2018 lol what were they even doing all these years Anyway I feel bad that ppl in tech and science get overlooked all the time its not right Her legacy lives on tho and I'm sure she'd be proud of how far we've come in terms of representation and recognition
Can you believe it's been 27 yrs since she was published about? She was like a superhero but nobody knew ... I mean, her work is so essential to how we navigate today & people are still discovering her genius . It's wild that women & POC in STEM have had to fight for recognition forever. We're losing trailblazers like Dr Gladys West, it's heartbreaking . Anyway, I'm glad someone from Alpha Kappa Alpha came through to shine a light on her accomplishments ... she deserves all the props !
