In addition to being an astronaut, a physician, and the first African-American woman in space, Mae Jemison, whose birthday we celebrate today, is a trained dancer. She brought a poster from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater into space. In a letter to the theater, she wrote, "Many people do not see a connection between science and dance, but I consider them both to be expressions of the boundless creativity that people have to share with one another." 🌌🌠 . . . . . . . . . . . . #maejemison #space #birthday #womeninscience #science #womancrush #wcw #womancrushwednesday #dance #art #performance #alvinailey #astronaut #africanamerican #history #sciencehistory #blacklives #blackhistory #blackgirlmagic #creative #creativity #inspiring #sciencehero
