The history of science has always been told from the point of view of white men. The scientific and technological achievements are considered to have been developed only by Europeans, and this distorted view contributes to the maintenance of homogenizing stereotypes and to justify the inferiority of non-whites and women. We understand that black women are part of this history, but they have been invisible and excluded over the centuries, a fact that reflects in our reality so that the representation of black women in scientific and technological activities is almost nonexistent, denouncing the confluence of racism with sexism. This research is a participant research. Our results show that the partnership between the university and the social movement around cultural experiences can be an alternative to demystify the sciences as an exclusively male, white and laboratory activity. They also show the importance of valuing and highlighting the contributions of black women to our science and society. The results allow us to conclude that the media play an important role in conveying deformed stereotypes of science, but should also be used to reverse this situation. And that is why we use social networks, important means to bring people together as a strategy to promote the visibility of black scientists and the dissemination of their work. On the other hand, the science produced in our country comes mostly from within public universities, and these universities must communicate with the general population, which pays taxes and maintains them, and the knowledge produced by them must aim at improving people's lives.
