Mae C. Jemison

Meet Mae! A woman of many incredible and inspirational talents!

Mae is probably most popular for being known as the first African-American woman in space. However, her trip to the stars is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Mae and her many accomplishments! Yes, she's a NASA astronaut (how cool is that!?) but she's also a talented dancer, a writer, an actress (she was on Star Trek!) a Stanford and Cornell graduate, a member of the Peace Corps, a refugee-camp volunteer, and a linguist (fluent in Russian, Japanese and Swahili) ... just to name a few. Come get inspired and learn more about Dr. Jemison.
