In 2012 Ava DuVernay became the first Black woman to win Best Director at Sundance. In 2014, she was the first Black female director Golden Globe nominee for Selma (also nominated for Best Picture Oscar). Catch her in theaters with A Wrinkle In Time! #pspscholarship @phisigmapi

Mae Jemison became the first Black woman to travel in space, aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on September 12, 1992. She later founded the Jemison Group, researching applications of technology in daily life. She is even a LEGO mini-figurine! #pspscholarship @phisigmapi

Based out of Brooklyn, portraitist Kehinde Wiley is known for his stunning portrait of President Obama. He depicts the "heroic, powerful, majestic and the sublime" of "urban, black and brown men" in psuedo surrealist paintings. #BlackHistoryMonth #pspscholarship @phisigmapi

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and if you haven't noticed, your Consultants have been celebrating by highlighting historical black leaders and scholars. Today I'm jumping in by sharing about Audre Lorde! #pspscholarship

[Casey Ellison @PSPCaseyE]

Some of Lorde's works include From a Land Where People Live (1973 - nominated for a National Book Award), The Black Unicorn (1976) and The Cancer Journals (won the Gay Caucus Book of the Year award for 1981) #pspscholarship #BlackHistoryMonth

Lorde was a self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet" who was concerned with modern society's tendency to categorize groups of people. She used her creative talent to confront the injustices of racism, sexism and homophobia. #pspscholarship #BlackHistoryMonth

[Casey Ellison @PSPCaseyE]

Lorde was first diagnosed with breast cancer in '78 and then with liver cancer 6 years later. She passed away in '92. Her legacy lives on in her creative works which have inspired change. I encourage you to check out some of her works! #pspscholarship #BlackHistoryMonth

1972: Shirley Chisholm became the first black Presidential candidate for any major party & she was the first woman to be nominated from the Democratic Party. Shirley was also the first black woman elected to the House. Together, we are stronger. #pspscholarship @phisigmapi

Don’t think you know Bree Newsome? She’s the woman arrested for removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house, June 27, 2015. Her act put pressure on state officials, and the flag was permanently removed July 10, 2015 #pspscholarship @phisigmapi
