Episode 29: Annie Easley

Annie Easley was a woman who wasn't afraid to "pivot" her plans or work hard for her dreams. She worked as a "human computer" at NACA (which then became NASA) and then became one of the first computer programmers for the Program. But Annie was so much more than that... she was a bright spot who championed equal opportunities for all, she pushed for inclusion and respect for women, and she ALWAYS encouraged education. The 2017 movie "Hidden Figures" gave us insight into the lives of some of the women who contributed to NASA... but I hope that this episode will give you a peek at Annie Easley. Any time that you see an electric car... remember that she is one of the contributors to that technology!
