The initiative called the E.S.T.E.A.M. Project is aimed specifically towards women who attend an Historically Black university or college (HBCU).
Williams made the announcement via Instagram.
“We’re excited to announce the launch of The E.S.T.E.A.M. Project, a coding bootcamp initiative designed for women at HBCUs, fostering change, inspiration, and sisterhood. Let’s Do It,” she wrote.
Throughout the course of the bootcamp’s coding curriculum, the inaugural cohort will meet virtually to develop an app project or showcase project with guidance and curriculum assistance provided by the program sponsor.
“Our team will identify experts in the field of education and computer science to help integrate and execute the curriculum program,” Williams continued.
Why the program was created
Malinda Williams established the Arise and Shine Foundation along with her sisters, Lisa Williams Sorensen and Leslie Williams Dunn, to support underserved and underrepresented women and girls in overcoming challenges and reaching their full potential, guiding them through adversity, trauma, and disadvantages towards a fulfilling life.
“I wanted to create a space where women could come together and learn from each other, support each other, and collaborate on projects that pour back into their communities.” Williams wrote.
“As a professional actress and someone who has benefited greatly from the support of my community. I understand first-hand the value of collaboration and paying it forward.”

The deadline to apply is March 31, 2024. For more, information please visit asforwomen.org
