Everyone is raving about Marvel's epic blockbuster, Black Panther, and rightfully so. This movie is epic on so many levels. There's so much about this movie I want to share with you. After seeing the movie I sat back and thought of the movie release on the heels of National Engineers Week and February 22 being Introduce a Girl to Engineering.
No spoilers
Those familiar with the Black Panther saga know Suri as the teenage sister of T'Challa, the Black Panther. I had no idea. Fortunately, my sons are Marvel Masters and my eldest son gave me the rundown on Shuri calling her the "Tony Stark of Wakanda". Shuri has mastered the power of the resources of her beloved country.
I loved math and science when I was a kid. It's something I am proud to say all four of my kids inherited from their mom. The kids excel in their Advanced Placement Trig, pre-Calculus and Calculus math courses and their AP Biology, Chemistry and Physics science courses.
Why do Science, Technology, Engineering and Math matter?
Studies show girls who excel in STEM tend to earn more money and one report in Time magazine states "lower poverty levels and healthier families", not healthier girls but healthier families. Healthier families = healthier communities... healthier communities = healthier nations... healthier nations = a much healthier world for all. STEM matters.

Let's encourage our daughters, nieces and the girls in our lives to explore the sciences, experiment and let those creative vibes flow.
Marvel lovers we will get to see more of Shuri in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War but until then share the story of Shuri with a little girl in your life. Better yet, take them to see Black Panther!

Shuri, Shuri, Shuri, were have you been all my life. Oh, that's right Shuri didn't appear until 2005. I headed to our local comic book store hoping to secure a copy of that coveted comic, but they were sold out. *kicks rocks*
