Taylor Richardson is an aspiring astronaut, STEM advocate and the force behind the GoFundMe campaign that brought thousands of girls to game-changing movies like Captain Marvel and A Wrinkle In Time! She's inspiring, unstoppable and undeniably brave. We interviewed Taylor (!!!) and here's what she wants middle school girls to know:

Ê: Why do you think it’s so important for girls to see "A Wrinkle In Time" and what do you think is the most important lesson in the movie? 

TR: This importance is very simple: Representation  matters and girls, especially those of color, need to see what they can be. This movie shows how girls can embrace their flaws and use them for good. I think the most important lesson in this movie is learning to love and accept your true self and owning it! 

Ê: Girls our age sometimes think they are too young to have an impact on the world around them. What would you say to motivated middle school girls who don’t want to wait but want to change the world...today?  

​TR: I say to those girls: Do it! If you have ideas and ways to make this world better, then make your voice heard and be the change you want to see in the world! It’s that simple. As my idol Dr Mae Jemison would say, “Never be limited by others' limited imagination!” Ad astra warriors! Ad astra!
