Amazing things have unfolded for so many of our guests. This is especially true for 21-year-old inventor Dasia Taylor, who sat down to fill us in on all the cool stuff she has been doing since our first interview in Episode 35.

In today’s episode we:

  • Hear about all the adventures Dasia has experienced since her ground breaking science fair invention of color changing stitches that put her on the Ellen show, got the attention of VP Kamala Harris on Twitter, and a spot in the book Good night Stores for Rebel Girls: 100 Inspiring Young Changemakers.
    • What it is like to start a med-tech company and apply for patents at the tender age of 21.
      • Why she took a year off from college, and why this decision was pivotal in her moving into adulthood.
        • Her passion for creating STEM (Science, technology, engineering, math) opportunities for kids, including STEM birthday parties!
          • The internship she secured thanks to meeting the chief innovation officer for Planned Parenthood National Office at the Aspen Ideas Conference, which is giving her the opportunity to explore black women’s health experiences.
            • Why Dasia believes it is important to learn about the lines, so you can then color outside them.
