Mission Accomplished! #AimHigher

Earthwork of NASA Astronaut Stephanie Wilson in Woodruff Park - Atlanta

On Monday, October 11, we unveiled a giant 6,300 square foot Earthwork portrait of NASA Astronaut Stephanie Wilson created by crop artist Stan Herd. The frame and wording of #AimHigher was made out of 1500 tiles of space art created by kids from 14 Atlanta Schools and 3 children's hospitals.

At the ceremony were Astronauts Nicole Stott, Susan Kilrain and Dr. Sian Proctor who only just returned to Earth from the Inspiration4 Mission where she became the first black woman to pilot a spacecraft. They all spoke about the importance of representation to inspire the next generation to aim higher for their dreams.

Stephanie Wilson was the second Black woman to go into space. She's flown in three missions — her first in 2006 — and she's also one of 18 astronauts on the NASA Artemis team, which is set to go to the moon in 2024.

HER STORY 100 - Women in STEM

Our Story 100: Portraits of Change

Women in STEM are often pioneers in their fields which have been dominated by men. In order to have more women in these fields, we need to show that women and girls are welcome but also that they should invited and included. We need to inspire more women and girls to believe they deserve to be there. Representation matters.

That's why these women have come together to talk about why the 19th Amendment is still so important and about how voting for women opens doors to opportunities, not only for women but for all people.
