There are a lot of (predominantly white) researchers that are interested in broadening participation in #STEM & tbh I'm concerned about the way folks are approaching their outreach & community work. I worry that white folks are showing up in Black & Brown spaces in ways that might be self-serving, reductionist, extractivist, or even harmful. Not sure what the solution is here, but even the literature on this is disheartening.

Does anyone have an idea if such a tool exists? Pls let me know!!
