NEW YORK, April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- STEM X: Diversity Equity, and Inclusion at the Speed of Thought, the latest book by entrepreneur and social activist, Malcolm Allen, is now available. STEM X is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, and is available on Amazon today.

In STEM X, Malcolm Allen discusses the challenges of bringing true diversity into the classrooms and workplaces of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Having experienced firsthand how STEM opportunities can change lives, Allen explores the impact of STEM on every aspect of modern life and why including people of more diverse backgrounds is crucial.

In addition to sharing his personal journey, Allen provides practical insights and best practices for businesses, along with stories of STEM diversity pioneers and industry leaders. The book demonstrates how companies can advance access to STEM programs and ensure that all people of color gain inclusion, access, and equity in STEM training and career opportunities.

"Equity, access, inclusion, and diversity should be basic parts of any STEM education program," said Allen. "Equity guarantees that every student will be given equal opportunities; access provides those students with information; inclusion gets them in the door; and diversity guarantees that, while they might see faces like their own, some people on their team will be very different."

STEM X is a timely read for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of STEM on society and the importance of diversity in STEM education and workplaces.
