Coricka White is making history, and it’s pretty sweet.

The engineer with a master’s in business administration is the first Black woman to manage Domino Sugar’s 100-year old refinery in Baltimore. Trailblazing is just part of the job for White, who hopes her new title will encourage more women and women of color into engineering leadership roles.

Congrats on the new gig! We hope it’s a rush.

Now we’ll treat you to some of the latest news.
