Inspired to create an organization that focuses on positive social change, Kimberly founded Black Girls CODE, a non-profit that teaches young girls from underrepresented communities computer programming.

Her mission is to provide African-American youth with the skills to occupy some of the 1.4 million computing job openings expected to be available in the U.S. by 2020, and to train 1 million girls by 2040.

So far, so good.

Since 2011, Black Girls CODE, with the support of organizations such as ThoughtWorks, General Motors, and Lyft has reached more than 3,000 students.

And they're just getting started.
