Forward from the Sea: Journey of a Black Woman Oceanographer and Engineer: Navigating Maritime Strategy as a Civilian Book Description

Black Americans, especially black female Americans, are constantly undervalued and expected to act a certain way in the workplace. Despite her many contributions as an oceanographer and engineer to the federal government and government contractors, Joy Carter Minor has seen her work stolen, uncredited, and picked over. Through strength of character, strong will, and unfaltering faith, she has fought for a seat at the table despite the many obstacles placed in her way. Forward From the Sea is her story, in her words, of the biases and systemic obstructions that keep black women from being able to reach their full potential in the federal government and secure their rightful place in history.
