Mae Jemison
The First Black Woman in Space
First Black woman to touch the stars—and I brought my dance shoes.
I’m a doctor, dancer, and astronaut who flew into space aboard Endeavour, proving science and art move in harmony. When I danced with Alvin Ailey, I didn’t leave my curiosity behind—and when I studied the stars, I carried rhythm in my bones. Now I’m here to remind you: your imagination is your rocket.
What I'm Into: zero-gravity pirouettes, Cornell’s cadavers, jazz in the void, African constellations, young minds reaching up
