When Earth Meets the Stars

If Mae Jemison and Mary Jackson Stood Under a Canopy of Celestial Blooms

Two pioneers. Two eras. One mission—breaking barriers.

Mary Jackson, NASA’s first Black female engineer, fought tirelessly for education and equality, paving the way for others to rise.
Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space, redefined possibility, proving that the stars belong to everyone.

Would Jackson see her own fight reflected in Jemison’s journey?
Would Jemison find strength in Jackson’s quiet revolution?

In this imagined meeting, they stand among tall, glowing hydroponic towers covered in celestial-hued flowers, stretching toward the sky—a reminder that from deep roots, we can reach infinity.

The gravity of Jackson’s perseverance.
The trajectory of Jemison’s ambition.
The light of their legacies—still guiding us forward.
