this is EXACTLY why representation matters

Finally finished my Hidden Figures print! Another one you can find at ECCC! Which I need to remember to make a map of my location lol
The shoulders of the women that we stand on are three American heroes; Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson. Without them, we would not know how to reach the stars.
AMC Theaters is offering free tickets to a screening of Hidden Figures at 10am on Saturday, February 18th. There’s screenings in select cities in the following states: CA, FL, GA, IL, LA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, and TX. If your chosen tickets are available, you will receive an email to take to the theatre’s box office on the day of your event. Enjoy 🙂
Representation is so important. I am so happy Hidden Figures celebrates the story of brave, brilliant African-American women in STEM.
And a soapbox side note: If any of you are still trying to figure out what you want to do with your life and like science and tech, give computer science a try! It’s a myth that you have to be a genius to do it- anyone can code. I will be more than happy to talk to you about it or give you advice (I’ve worked at Google and start-ups).
