In a world that told them “you don’t belong here,” they created anyway.
In this episode of Happiness Through Creating, we explore the untold power behind Hidden Figures—the true story of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson: three brilliant Black women whose mathematical genius helped launch NASA into the space age.
But this episode isn’t just about history.
It’s about how they created—in quiet, in struggle, in resistance—and still found meaning, growth, and joy through their work.
You'll hear:
How character fueled their creativity in the face of racism and sexism
Why they didn’t wait for permission—they paved new paths
What it means to create value, even when no one is watching
And how joy doesn’t wait for recognition—it grows in resilience
This is a story for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or underestimated. A reminder that your work matters—even if the spotlight hasn’t found you yet.
🎧 Listen now, and remember:
You don’t have to be visible to be valuable.
You just have to keep creating.
