Starting off Women's Herstory Month with the one and only Nina Simone.

Have you heard of Liberian Calypso?

Did you know she lived in Liberia with her daughter?

"She was forty-one when she first landed at Robertsfield International Airport, her twelve-year-old daughter Lisa in tow, their belongings—clothes, books, records—packed into the belly of a Pan Am jet. Six years had passed since Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination; nine since Simone had belted out protest songs during the Selma to Montgomery voting-rights march." - written by Katherina Grace Thomas

Physicists, Data Scientists and Inventor, Valerie Thomas received a patent for her invention of the Illusion Transmitter, used in surgery and the production of television and video screens. Thomas was also responsible for developing the Digital Media formats that image processing systems used in the early years of NASA Landsat program.

While working at NASA, she introduced a way to transmit three-dimensional images or holograms that appears to be real.

Her groundbreaking work is still used today across many fields.
