Hello, cosmic explorers!

Tiffany here, in this week’s “Queer History 101,” we are blasting off into the extraordinary universe of Sally Ride!

Sally wasn’t just an astronaut; she was a trailblazer, a dreamer, and a woman who soared beyond the stars and societal norms. With a heart filled with passion and a mind brimming with brilliance, Sally shattered glass ceilings, becoming the youngest American astronaut and the first American woman to journey into space!

But the stars weren’t her only love. Back on Earth, Sally championed education, inspiring a new generation of explorers, especially young girls, to dive into the realms of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

In the tapestry of her life, Sally also embraced her identity as a lesbian, reminding us that the LGBTQ+ community has always been a constellation of trailblazers, pioneers, and dreamers.

Join us in celebrating Sally Ride’s legacy, a saga of triumph, passion, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Until next time, keep exploring the endless skies of our diverse and vibrant history!
