\"It was really neat to see somebody like her pull that together with so many leaders in our community and it was really exciting to see that spirit in our youth,\" Graham said.

The ambitious teen's mother, Latonja Richardson, 43, said her daughter's campaign results are \"mind-blowing.\"

\"She has so much drive and determination and, on top of it, she’s a really great kid,\" her mom told ABC News. \"She takes time to pay it forward not just to girls that look like her but all kinds of kids all around the world, it's mind-blowing.\"

She added, \"As a parent, it's my due diligence to support her in every way I can.\"

Taylor's goal in all of her fundraising endeavors has been to use her voice to bring girls of color from across the United States and abroad to the STEM field.

\"I want to continue my mission to bring diversity and gender equality to the STEM field, by running various projects and initiatives to make this happen,\" the teen wrote. \"All funds raised will go towards projects, events, and scholarships to meet those ends.\"

Taylor wants other girls to have the same opportunities in science, math and technology and realize it's OK to fail, her mom said.

\"What drives Taylor is she’s not afraid to fail and she’s always ready to get back up,\" Richardson said. \"She says, 'Figure out a way to do something and try your best, but don’t think that you can’t do it just because you’re a girl.' And I think that’s the impact she's making.\"

Taylor was on the October cover of Scholastic Science World magazine and continually checks in on social media with other girls who have been inspired by her achievements and want to pursue similar dreams.

\"She Skypes with other little girls who reach out on Twitter and she sends them videos, signed copies of the Scholastic cover,\" her mom said of Taylor's growing fan base.

But in all this, the young girl has remained humble and her goal is about representation.

\"I think Taylor breaks the stereotype of people of color and women in STEM at such a young age,\" her mom explained. \"Sometimes I don't know how she does it but our goal is that it's about representation, that a girl can open up and see herself in Taylor whether it's someone of color, or female.\"

Walt Disney Pictures’ \"A Wrinkle in Time\" officially opens nationwide March 9, 2018.
