1. They consider themselves📜"hers-torians." Their goal is to use STEM to uncover the past. “We are females of color, women of color, who are trying to truly uphold the truth of what our ancestors actually went through,” said Trinity Ansley. In total, there are 16 girls in “Our Genetic Legacy.” The girls aged 14 – 17 years of age will create a plan to open a museum next year. “So we have an operations team, marketing, and finance team,” said Shelly Baxter, founder of Our Genetic Legacy. “So, we're teaching the fundamentals of business and startup." The plan is to drone map historic locations such as The Julian Cemetery and the Harrison Serenity Ranch. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (NBC San Diego)
