Emily and The Space Gal
Emily is such a beautiful human inside and out! She is on a mission to teach girls about technology and space and is doing a fantastic job at it! Not only is she the Host and Executive Producer of Xploration Outer Space, but she is also an author of a series of wonderful books for little girls called Ada Lace Adventures.
Emily’s content radiates positivity and authenticity and is just so incredibly cool. I mean, as an example, she was just in the Apollo Moon Vault looking at moon samples!
