Today’s episode features Valerie Thomas, an American inventor who worked with NASA. Thomas’s story shows us that even though our parents, our teachers, and societal standards may try to dictate what we create and give to the world, we can overcome those barriers, work hard in the direction of our dreams, and become who we are meant to be.
