J’Tia is Multidimensional.

As a 15-year-old freshman at Florida State University and a former contestant on CBS' Survivor, J'Tia has always challenged herself. Now she’s turned her attention to increasing minority participation in STEM and national security and serving as a spark to ignite the future.

In her own philanthropic vision, J’Tia envisions her serving as the multidimensional woman she is, pushing a more inclusive and modern approach to STEM to young Black & Brown girls. She wants to show them you can be in STEM and still be cool and versatile.

A Miami Florida native, Dr. Hart holds graduate degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois and lives in Chicago with her husband and two children. They have a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year old son, whom she is grooming to become globe-trotting, Nobel Laureates with a flawless sense of fashion and culture.

J’Tia works tirelessly in caring for her family, her wellness, her lifestyle and her intellectual property, all of which she wishes to share with these girls in concerted effort to break barriers of STEM and the existing stigma / perception of those in the industry. STEM does not have to be boring, mundane or whitewashed.
