I saw Hidden Figures plenty of times before this trip, but the impact I got from watching the movie was the same. The movie is so inspirational and up-lifting. The actresses had so much patience and determination to succeed. It is motivational to every woman watching regardless of color. Being an African American woman comes with double oppression which we saw in the film. The white men were superior to the white women who were superior to the African American women. We got to watch the power differentials and really got visualize a watered down version of the interactions and obstacles that not only women had to face but African American women. It was the perfect selection for an all woman trip.
