Let's talk about the movie "HIDDEN FIGURES"

This past Friday was date night for me and bestie, the good Lord knows how much we needed one. The past few months has been all about "work and no play", that is what setting up a new business does to a couple who are partners in the same business. We decided to see the movie "Hiddden Figures", I didn't know what the movie was about and film house had run out of movie catalogues, just seeing Taraji  Henson and a little girl scribbling some maths on a chalk board caught my attention. It had to be an inspirational movie and so that's what we saw.

As a fashion enthusiast and a lover of all things vintage, I was immediately hooked, I wanted everything they wore in my wardrobe, vintage fashion is so classy, stylish and modest. Asides the fashion, I loved the story and related well with it because it was based on true events. Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson were female computers and pioneers who did their jobs during a time of racial and gender discrimination while acting with dignity and humanity. Lessons learned from the movie are patience in adversity, fortitude, integrity and perseverance in the face of discrimination and condescension.

They pushed the boundaries of what it meant to be a mathematician, a scientist or an engineer. This can be applied in every field of life we find ourselves, we should always thrive to do to the best of our ability.
