“❤  these photos of Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer dressed as their characters in Fox 2000’s “Hidden Figures”! In the film, which will tell the true story of the African American women mathematicians who were behind one of NASA’s first successful space missions, Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, Monáe as Mary Jackson, and Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan. We can’t wait for this trailblazing trio to hit the big screen next January!”

As seen on the Because of Them We Can by Eunique Jones Facebook page

EXCUSE ME, DID YOU JUST SAY THAT TARAJI P. HENSON, JANELLE MONAE AND OCTAVIA SPENCER ARE IN A FEATURE FILM WHERE THEY PORTRAY FAMOUS BLACK WOMEN IN STEM?!?!?
