"By now, we know that Black Girl Magic is indeed genetic, passed down from generation to generation. Virginia third grader Na Kia Boykin proved this to be true when she scored a perfect score of 600 on her mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) test. What makes her success even sweeter is she seems to be following in the footsteps of her great-grandmother, NASA’s “human computer” Katherine Johnson. “I like math because I can look at a problem and figure it out,” Na Kia explained after being honored at a school assembly, according to the Daily Press. “You can just look at the problem and do it. You use the numbers, and you use your brain. It’s a good challenge.” Many learned of Johnson's contributions to mathematics and engineering on a full-scale thanks to the 2016 movie adaption of the best selling book Hidden Figures. Now, the mathematician (who turns 100 years old this August) has found her rightful place as an icon for women in STEM disciplines. Her great-granddaughter is taking pride in keeping her legacy going." blavity.com/amp/hidden-figure-katherine-johnsons-great-granddaughter-receives-perfect-score-on-math-sol-test |

Stacey Abrams is set to become the first black female governor of Georgia. She has five siblings and dad was a minister. My guess is there were some lean times. In addition to her success, her sister is a accomplished judge who would have been the perfect selection for the White House prison reform talk yesterday. I don't think either of the sisters played collegiate sports. Reading this old thread for Black History facts and this one made me smile. Even though she didn’t win Georgia I think something much greater was in store for Stacey Abrams |
