Katherine Johnson was born in White Sulphur Spring, West Virginia, in 1918. She was intellectually gifted, which put her several grades ahead in school.
In 1937, Katherine graduated from West Virginia State College with the highest honors, & began teaching at a Black public school in Virginia.
Katherine ended up leaving her teaching job after being admitted to West Virginia University. At this time, Black students were not allowed to attend the state’s flagship school. Katherine enrolled in the graduate math program but decided to begin a family & continue teaching shortly after.
In 1952, she was told about open positions at the all-Black section of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), later renamed NASA. She spent the next 4 years analyzing data from flight tests & worked on an investigation of a plane crash. Katherine analyzed the first human spaceflight & co-wrote a report on it, making her the first woman in the Flight Research Division to be given credit for a research report.
In 1962, NASA was preparing for the orbital mission of John Glenn. The astronauts were worried that the computer programs doing all the mathematical calculations for their mission might have errors, so Glenn asked for Katherine. She ran the same numbers & equations the computers were supposed to run by hand. The flight was a success & marked the turning point in the competition between the U.S. & the Soviet Union in space.
After this success, she went on to help on numerous projects & published many research papers until finally retiring in 1986. In 2015, President Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor. Katherine Johnson died in February of 2020 at 101 years old. Her work is still a vital piece of history for NASA & space aviation as a whole. Katherine Johnson pioneered the way not just for Black women but for all women to be a leading face of science & mathematics, proving a “woman’s place” is anywhere she wants it to be.
Most of our apparel is made from our signature Viscose from Bamboo, and we suggest washing them on cold/gentle cycle inside out. Lay flat to dry for optimal longevity or dry low and cool iron if needed. Follow all care tag instructions.
Viscose is know to be buttery soft and the softer the fabric, the more pilling is common — however, laying flat to dry really keeps the fabric new. Most moms prefer to line dry for optimal texture, lasting color, and to last through the life span of the item.
Due to the delicate nature of our lush fabrics, please do NOT wash with other items with zippers, buttons, or hardware. Snagging may occur. Wash separate with other babies items.
Our signature Päpook® viscose from bamboo is lightweight, breathable, and extra soft for your baby's delicate skin. Its natural weave makes it stretchy enough for a nice snug fit, yet comfortable for all-day wear.
No Harsh Chemicals
We comply with snug fitting standards to eliminate the use of flame retardant chemicals during our production process – irritants like chlorine-containing bleaches, zinc, and sulfate. So you can rest easy knowing our fabric is free of irritants and toxic treatments.
Benefits of Viscose from Bamboo
This fabric has it all. Lightweight and breathable with fibers to wick away moisture while micro-gaps aid in ventilation and heat regulation. This means you stay cooler during the summer and a few degrees warmer during the winter. This makes it great specifically for people with sensitive skin and/or allergies. It also has natural UV protection to protect your peanuts from sun rays in comfort.
NOT ALL FIBER IS CREATED EQUAL
At Posh Peanut, we do our bit towards fostering a more positive future, creating thoughtfully produced garments. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth. It requires very little water and grows 3-4 feet a day without any fertilizers. We are proud to say our products are made using the highest standards in textile.
