Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Live the Impossible What if the impossible is simply something you have not imagined yet? In this episode of Black Women Amplified, Monica Wisdom explores the power of imagination, possibility, and representation through the lens of Hidden Figures. This is not a review of the film. It is a reflection on what Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson can teach us about living beyond the limitations we inherited. Monica reflects on her childhood fascination with science, space, and the cosmos and wonders what might have been possible if she had known women like these existed. She explores what it meant for her generation to grow up after the Civil Rights Movement, enter spaces their parents had been excluded from, and quietly become the bridge between one world and the next. She also looks at Dorothy Vaughan's decision to learn the technology that threatened her job and considers what her story can teach us about navigating today's artificial intelligence revolution. Most importantly, Monica asks a question for women standing at their own crossroads: What would you do if you believed you were capable of living the impossible?
