Happy International Women’s Day!
 
The theme this year is, “Give to gain”. This is something that I truly hold near and dear to my heart. Every month, I volunteer because it brings me so much joy. I particularly love doing K-12 STEM outreach for schools all over the world. From across our nation to spanning the continents, connecting with children through planetary science is something that connects us all—we all share the same Sun, Moon, and the stars.
 
But what got me started? We all have an origin story, and mine is somewhat simple. I was a stubborn girl who was determined to achieve. I never stopped asking questions, and I was raised to always uplift people around me, especially those who were different. I soon realized that I was different and through my awesome parents, incredible mentors, leaders, and bosses, I was able to use “my different” as a superpower. And now, I encourage everyone to use “their different” to shine, to achieve, and to reach beyond the stars.
 
Let’s all give to gain. What’s your space origin story? Empowerment is contagious—pass it on!
 

Happy Women’s History Month!

This is the year of, “Leading Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future.”

I was a girl who dared to dream and decided to make a lot of noise. Today, I volunteer, I inspire, and I uplift the people around me. Everyone can win—this is not a competition.

Where my girls at?

I am full of gratitude.

An organization on the East Coast contacted me and I signed, sealed, and delivered 19 copies of my latest children’s book, “Pearl The Space Girl: The A to Z Adventure of Exploring Space Careers”.

I am truly blown away, humbled, and honored.

If interested, more information about my children’s book can be found at the link in bio 💗🫶🏽.

I wear it proudly on my shirt because:

✅ I want little Black girls to know what’s within their reach
✅ Representation matters
✅ It’s Black History Month
✅ I Definitely Earned It (see what I did there?) 💅🏽

Happy Black History Month to everyone. Black history is for everyone, and when we band together, we can all do great things. We are better united than divided.

I’m on a mission to make space for everyone in the industry I love so much. Scientific discovery and space exploration for the win 😎.

I’m honored to be invited back as a speaker at the upcoming Young Women’s Career Conference (YWCC) at the Girls Academic Leadership Academy (GALA) in the heart of Los Angeles.

This year’s agenda is as follows:

✅ Hustle with purpose
✅ Lead with confidence
✅ Make your mark

I’m thrilled to share my unconventional, yet fruitful, journey to leading development space innovations and engineering organizations across the globe 🚀.

My mission is to inspire, to motivate, and to ensure that we all know how to take up space (pun intended 🤓).
