A Hidden Figures Quote


I so loved the movie Hidden Figures that I am now reading the book — odd for me as I usually like to read the book first. Today’s quote comes from the book. Tomorrow night, I’ll be rooting for the movie to win the best picture Oscar. A long shot, I know, but I’m rooting anyway!

Once you took the first step, anything was possible.” – Margot Lee Shetterly
