FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT

Martina Taylor is the founder and current president of Breaking Boundaries with Innovation(BBI). She is also an entrepreneur and an engineer with a background in computer science(bachelor’s) and cybersecurity engineering(master’s). She is currently studying as a doctoral student in Business Administration while serving a military organization as a civilian.

She founded Breaking Boundaries with Innovations (BBI) in 2019 out of the urgent need to provide adequate technology education, good healthcare, and quality education to underprivileged communities. BBI strives to promote technology, healthcare, and education for children and youths in Sierra Leone and other developing countries through advocacy, scholarship and creating connections for their future endeavors. Our goal is to bridge the gap for students in developing countries so that they have access to the same level of education and technology education as other students worldwide.

Shortly after BBI launched, we began a #BBICares drive that provided clothing, sanitary needs, and sponsorship to the underrepresented population in Freetown, Sierra Leone with the aim of improving the community and bettering the wellbeing of people. We achieved this by working with the Mother and Child Rehabilitation Center (MCRC), a local non-profit organization in Sierra Leone.
