Jedidah Isler is an exceptional astrophysicist and an excellent modern-day role model for any young women of colour, who are pursuing a career in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Her studies of the universe in a field that continues to face racial and gender bias are nothing short of truly remarkable.

In 2015 Isler presented a TED talk where she spoke eloquently about race and gender within STEM, including her experiences when working towards her doctorate. This talk heavily revolves around metaphorical intersections and the liminal space in which great things happen. Her examples include how stars are born at the intersection between dust and gas, but also how she has lived her life in the liminal space between dreams and reality, race and gender, poverty and plenty, science and society.
