Welcome to the AMEC Amplified Podcast, where we spotlight voices that inspire innovation, empowerment, and purpose. I’m your host, Dr. Tyra Jones, and today’s guest is truly out of this world—literally!
Joining us is Ms. Sharon Caples McDougle, one of NASA’s real-life “Hidden Figures.” She suited up the first African American woman in space, Dr. Mae Jemison, and later became Crew Chief of NASA’s Crew Escape Equipment Department — breaking barriers in aerospace leadership.
But that’s not all. Sharon is also an author, speaker, and visionary whose work continues to uplift the next generation. Today, we’ll talk about her inspiring journey, her children’s book, and her new brand that empowers dreamers everywhere.
