About
According to a 2019 report from the United States Census Bureau, female engineers represent only about 13% of the total engineering workforce. And, according to the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), Black women comprise a mere 1.6 percent of the country’s scientists and engineers. This alarming underrepresentation underscores the significance of addressing gender and race biases, which often take root at an early age. J.H. Lindo is a children’s media company focused on celebrating diversity and empowering children through STEM exploration.

At J.H. Lindo, our mission is to empower children to explore and pursue their passions in STEM fields, and to contribute to a more inclusive and equal world through our commitment to gender equality. Through our stories, we aim to inspire and educate children and their families, and to disrupt unequal gender norms early on by introducing them to diverse role models.
Our vision is to ignite a passion for STEM exploration in children and foster a world where inclusivity and gender equality thrive.
