Behind the Scientist
About Aalliyeh Clinton
When Aalliyeh Clinton pitched her business at the 2025 Durag Fest’s Pop Up & Pitch Microgrant Competition, she wasn’t just presenting a product, she was introducing a movement. As the winner of the competition, presented by ByBlack and powered by the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC) and the DuGhood Foundation, Clinton made it clear that Monneah’s Engineered Materials is on a mission to reshape how we see science, safety, and self-expression.
Among her proudest achievements are the moments when other scientists see themselves in her products and can’t wait to support her. That validation means everything,” she says. “And being able to show young people in my community that they can lead, create, and innovate that’s just as meaningful.
