Hi ππ½ today is my Mommy's Birthday π and I found this picture at my grandma's last year. Story time π€π My mother moved from Louisiana to Indiana to work for Eli Lilly after graduating from Southern University because there still weren't any opportunities to work in science/medical research for black people in the south after integration. She was one of the first African Americans to work in the lab studying microbiology, specifically bacteriology π¬in the 1960s at Eli Lilly. My mother was a hidden figure. ππΎπ€ Lit Mommy! Honestly truly I don't have to google anything cause my mom knows everything and she's a psychic but I don't listen cause I'm stubborn π€·π½ββοΈ. Happy Birthday to the smartest, most beautiful, cautious woman in the world!! Fun fact: Why do I make this face? π?? It's my moms face ππ and I'm her TWIN. π€·π½ββοΈπ€·π½ββοΈππππ #happybirthdaymom #legend #iconic #blackscientistsmatter #hiddenfigures #blackhistory #leo #leoseason #ilovemom #blacksinscience
