“Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away. Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration. Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all." Statement from Nichols’ son, Kyle Johnson

the three BLACK WOMEN (mary jackson, katherine g. johnson, and dorothy vaughan) that changed astronomy and history.

mary jackson, an accomplished engineer, broke down barriers as the first african american woman to work as an engineer at NASA. her expertise and determination paved the way for future generations of women in the field.

katherine johnson, a brilliant mathematician, calculated the trajectory for john glenn's historic 1962 spaceflight, making her an invaluable asset to NASA's space task group. her calculations were pivotal in ensuring a successful mission

dorothy vaughan was a talented mathematician and the first african-american supervisor at NASA. she was instrumental in introducing computer programming skills to her colleagues, which played a significant role in advancing the space program.

through their dedication and groundbreaking achievements, mary jackson, katherine johnson, and dorothy vaughan left an indelible mark on history, proving that talent knows no boundaries, and that anyone, regardless of their background, can reach for the stars. their triumphs were celebrated in the 2016 film hidden figures, a personal favorite of mine.

i urge you all to read up on these magnificent women and their astronomical (no pun intended) impact on the world. celebrate and encourage black women in STEM. they are magical

Dr. Karen Jenson: Women Scientists Onscreen

Black women STEAM characters on the big screen owe a lot to a heavily diminished and disrespected canon character in the BLADE MCU--Dr. Karen Jenson.

“ Blade debuted in theaters in 1998, becoming the first Marvel Studios film and kicking off what would become the juggernaut Marvel Cinematic Universe. At that time, superhero movies were rare. Few comics were adapted to film, and even then, 1997’s Spawn was the only one that had featured a black lead. Twenty years later, the overwhelming success of the MCU’s Black Panther proved definitively what many have insisted for decades: That a film with a majority-black cast can have mainstream appeal and box office success, just as majority-white films do, if given the same opportunity...” From Lady Science Magazine, 2018
