In the ‘80s, I went to school to become a computer tech. I studied my butt off! My grades were perfect. I corrected all the mistakes in the school’s new textbooks. I graduated #1. The instructor had taken a job at the Lewis Research Center, and wanted to take me with him. At my job interview I was told that despite my high grades, and despite my instructor’s high praise, they could only hire a black women at that time. I had to take a job working night shift in a factory in order to pay off my school loan.

When you were rejected, did the idea of going into business for yourself ever cross your mind?
