My Favorite Mae Jemison Quotes

February 1, 2017 by mybookboost

As we celebrate Black History Month in February, I am sharing two quotes by Mae Jemison, the first African American woman astronaut. She would be a great leader for both kids and adults to learn more about. I first read about her just few months ago.

Mae Jemison has many awesome quotes, but I picked two of my favorite to share today.

The first quote goes well with the idea of a growth mindset. And I enjoy the simplicity and message behind the second quote.

“What we find is that if you have a goal that is very, very far out, and you approach it in little steps, you start to get there faster. Your mind opens up to the possibilities.”

“Some of the most fun people I know are scientists.”

I have a resource in my TPT store that highlights Mae Jemison. There is a fact sheet, a place to think of quotes Mae might say, and three different puppet options. Click on the picture below to see more.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
