Sierra Leone Medical Officer Dr. Mae Jemison: Mae Jemison says "Sometimes we can talk so much about roadblocks and impediments and racism and sexism that people start to bow down to it, much more than if you just mention it peripherally and you know it's there but we don't obsess on it. As you start telling that to children they start worrying that maybe they really can't make it." 29 September 1999

Sierra Leone Medical Officer Dr. Mae Jemison: An engineer, physician, educator and jazz dancer, Mae Jemison is keenly aware of the obstacles that women and minorities must overcome to succeed in fields that have long been exclusionary. At 39, she is angrier than she once was about how inherently unfair that is, about how impossibly superb members of those excluded groups are expected to be in order to prove that merit, not entitlement, won them an opportunity 1 July 1996

Sierra Leone Medical Officer Dr. Mae Jemison: Opting against a traditional career in medicine, Mae Jemison joined the U.S. Peace Corps as a medical officer in Sierra Leone and Liberia. I ask her if this has had any effect on her desire to serve others. Intriguingly enough, she bristles: "I don't believe in altruism. I've gotten much more out of what I have done than the people I was supposed to be helping. When I was in the refugee camp in Thailand, I learned more about medicine there than I could have in a lifetime somewhere else. I refuse to think those people owe me any thanks. I got a lot out of it." 1 January 1993
