[i]I'm going to space! As the first Black woman confirmed to fly with Blue Origin on New Shepard, I am expected to be the sixth Black woman to cross the Kármán line — the internationally recognized boundary of space! This mission comes 30 years after former NASA astronaut Mae Jemison became the first Black woman to travel to space in 1992. Since then, there are only four other Black women who carry that distinction: NASA astronauts Stephanie Wilson, Joan Higginbotham, Jessica Watkins and Dr. Sian Proctor of the SpaceX Inspiration4 Mission. I am honored to follow the footsteps of these incredible woman. I can't wait to fly on a future flight of Blue Origin's New Shepard.[/i]
