Meet Stephanie Henry, our 2025 : Black Girls in STEM Award recipient! 💜
Stephanie reminds us that representation has the power to expand what a girl believes is possible for herself. Black girls have always belonged in STEM, and celebrating their accomplishments means making sure their brilliance, ambition, and contributions are visible.
So, where is Stephanie now? 👀 Stephanie is a student at McMaster University, where she is in her final year of pursuing an Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. She is also a Sexual Violence Prevention Peer Educator with McMaster University’s Equity and Inclusion Office, continuing to bring together her passion for health, education, advocacy, and community impact.
Stephanie has also continued working closely with Sisters in Sync and Refuge Newcomer Health through our Youth Black Health Advisory Table, helping ensure the voices and experiences of Black youth are represented in conversations surrounding their health and well-being.
And now, it’s time to see who will follow in her footsteps!
This year, our Black Girls in STEM Award will recognize another group of incredible Black girls pursuing their interests across STEM fields, while showing the next generation that there is space for them there, too.
Tickets for the 2026 You Go, Girl! Awards, in celebration of the International Day of the Girl, are on sale NOW! Ticket sales end on October 5th.
Join us in celebrating a new group of incredible nominees who are exploring what’s possible and reminding Black girls everywhere that we see you, and you belong here. 💐
