Three Latina computing professionals at a large national laboratory reflect on the circumstances affecting the low representation of this segment of the population in STEM fields, and computing in particular. The authors share highlights of their path to STEM careers, and some of the efforts they are involved in for broadening participation in computing. They consider the roles of minority serving institutions, representation and mentoring, and advocacy.
