She serves on the National Champions Board for the National Girls Collaborative Project and the board of the National Center for Women & Information Technology K-12 Alliance, influencing national strategies to broaden access to computing education for girls.
Bryant is founder and CEO of the Black Innovation Lab and Ascend Ventures Tech, an early-stage accelerator in Memphis supporting underrepresented tech founders in the U.S. South. She is authoring a book and advocates for Black women leaders in both nonprofit and for-profit sectors, addressing systemic barriers through mentorship and resources.
