My first two science magazine covers two years ago! May not seem big to most but for me a black girl in STEM it was and still is to me. I started my journey/advocacy at the age of 9. I’m 14 in these pics. 16 now! My dream of

My dream isn’t to be famous, its become a doctor, a scientist and astronaut to make things better for all. I’m for representation for us then and I’m for representation for us all NOW.
@ava
said it best, “If your dream is only about you then it’s too small.” And I don’t do small.
Losing followers bc I’m raising my voice about white people killing black people is fine with me. Before anything I am a Black girl. So if you have a problem with that do me a favor and delete me. I will not be offended not at all. ✌🏾

We have lost two civil rights icons to walk amongst us. They fought against injustice and for equality. Titans of the community. Our loss is heavy. May they rest well. And may we all step up, just a little more, in their honored memory. RIP, sirs.

Thank you. I would like to say upfront there wasn’t any commotion. Your airline rep was not rude she was caught off guard by his comment and to not make a scene just moved him. I’m only 16 so I dare not disrespect an adult even when ignorant to the fact.

People saying I’m not a racist but support Trump; is like saying you love me and want me to be safe yet voting for the person who wants to harm me and do not value my life. It just can’t be that way. Period.
I’ve been bullied, retained, and diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve had kids and adults come af me. From genderism, ageism, colorism, sexism to racism, I’m still here. Like Muhammad Ali said, “get used to me because I’m not going anywhere!” Thank you

Just to another seat. The airline lady was very kind and very discrete. No commotion. He didn’t do anything he just got up and I enjoyed the rest of my flight heading home. I guess it could have been worse if I had made a scene. I chose to not give him my time or energy.

When my white peers in stem and space question my platform or method.
I will always be the girl who loves space and stem. But it’s very hard to think about space and stem all the time when many like me, oppressed and marginalized are just trying to ensure we can breathe.
What a great memory! Two years ago today I met this amazing warrior! Thank you for bringing real, honest stories to all screens about us and for us! One day I will be watching your work among the stars! Love ya Miss
