Black Girls Do Engineer Podcast
She Asked One Question… and Everything Changed
Some movements begin with a plan. Others begin with a question.
In this special episode, BGDE founder and CEO Kara Branch sits down with her daughter to reflect on the moment that sparked the creation of Black Girls Do Engineer. What started as a simple question opened the door to deeper conversations about curiosity, confidence, and what it means to grow up loving STEM as a girl.
Together, they talk about early exposure, representation, and the power of listening to our children—especially when they’re brave enough to ask, “why not me?” This episode is a reminder that when girls are seen, supported, and given space to explore, they don’t just imagine new futures—they help build them.
This conversation is for parents, daughters, and anyone who believes that small moments can lead to lasting impact.
Press play and listen to the question that changed everything.
