African American Woman Architect Gives Back to Motivate More Minority Interest in the Field

African American Woman Architect Gives Back to Motivate More Minority Interest in the Field: "Dina Griffin is an African American female architect. She knows that she was the 6th black woman to become a registered architect in the State of Illinois and was the 125th black woman registered in the United States. Out of the 233,000 registered architects in the United States, 1,858 are African Americans and only 278 of those are females—a number that number is surprising low. So, in addition to being president of a successful architecture firm in Chicago, Interactive Design, Inc. (IDEA), Griffin actively promotes the field of architecture to students around the country through lectures and mentorship in hopes of introducing and attracting more minorities and minority women to the field."
