Miona Short Becomes First Black Woman To Earn Astrophysics Degree in US university

Young woman, Miona Short sets record at US university, becomes first black woman to earn a degree in Astrophysics.

Miona Short bagged a bachelor of science degree in Astrophysics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She was the first ever to have the degree and the second black woman to graduate in the history of the university.

Miona said she felt very overwhelmed to be the first ever. She stated that she found out in her first year when someone told her, though she didn’t believe it until she made research about other black women who finished in the university.

Miona also said she had dreams of traveling among the stars ever since she was a young girl growing up on the South Side of Chicago and she’s glad her degree is bringing her much closer to her achieving her goals of one day exploring the planets, stars, and everything in between.
