Chapter Four:

JOURNEY INTO SPACE

Mom had a surprise for me when I got home.

“Since you’re going to be the first Black woman astronaut for the wax museum, I thought we could go to Morehead Planetarium.”

Usually I’d be all in. That’s one of my favorite places, but I wasn’t sure if I’d stick with being Mae Jemison. I shifted my feet.

“I was actually thinking that I might change to someone else,” I said slowly and cautiously. “I’m going to decide by Monday.”

Mom could read me like one of her books at story time.

“Really?” she said. “I’m surprised. I thought you were excited about being Mae Jemison. Well, we can still go. Always cool to see the stars.”

Whew. Mom had let me off easy. Jax and Dad were running errands, so it was just us. I hopped in Ruby—what Mom called her maroon Jeep—and we headed to Chapel Hill. We bopped to Beyoncé as we got on I-40. Then, Mom turned down the music. Uh-oh. I knew what that meant.
