Mae Carol Jemison was influenced by her early interest in science and space, inspired by the television show "Star Trek" and the idea of exploring beyond Earth. Her family's support, particularly from her parents, encouraged her academic pursuits and resilience in facing challenges. Additionally, the Civil Rights Movement and her experiences as a Black woman in STEM motivated her to break barriers and advocate for diversity in science and technology. These influences shaped her journey to becoming the first African American woman in space.
