Born: 01/21/35 - Died: 10/10/18
Her story begins in North Little Rock where a German submarine captured off the Carolina coastline was put on tour across the country. That’s how the seven-year-old saw it in Little Rock with her grandfather.
“And I looked through the periscope and saw all these dials and mechanisms and I said to the guy, ‘What do you have to know to do this,’“ Montague recalled. "He said 'Oh, you’d have to be an engineer, but you don’t have to worry about that.’”
While that was an insult to her, what the man didn’t know is that Montague had a #strong#mother who told her that she had three strikes against her: She was female, She was “Black,” and She would have a southern segregated school education. But her mother also told her, “You can be anything you want to be provided you’re educated!”
Growing up, she was constantly ridiculed for saying she wanted to be an engineer. Classmates would laugh and heckle her, but her 8th grade teacher, Mrs. Irma Holiday, became her mentor and admonished a young Montague, “Don’t let them tease you. Aim for the stars and at the very worst you’ll land on the moon!”
Initially, Montague wanted to enter the engineering school at the University of Arkansas but at the time they wouldn’t allow minorities. But that determined Montague parlayed an education from Arkansas Agricultural Mechanical & Normal College (now known as University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff) into a job with the U.S. Navy in Washington D.C.
With a college degree she started at the bottom of the ladder.
While working for the Navy, she sat next to a 1950’s UNIVAC I computer. Although she was not supposed to touch the computer. one day when the engineers all got sick, Montague jumped up and ran the UNIVAC all by herself.
Over the next 14 years Montague became so competent with computers she was transferred in 1970 to design and construct ships. Although, working under a racist boss she was given the challenge that changed her life.
“The admirals came to me and said, 'Young lady, we understand you’ve got a system to design ships.” And they said, 'The President has given us two months, we can give you one month, can you do it?“
She did it in 18 hours and 26 minutes.
Montague revolutionized the design process for all naval ships and submarines. From there, her career took off. She received award after award from both the Navy and U.S. government. The U.S. flag was even flown in her honor over the nation’s capitol... less

But Hall, a new #mother, ignored her family’s advice because she was unhappy with her post-pregnancy body, #NBCMiami reported.
“I tried to talk her out of it. I really did,” her mother, Nicole Hall, told the outlet. “Her sisters and her brothers tried to talk her out of it,” she said.
According to #Eres Plastic Surgery’s website, the procedure costs $3500 and includes 12 areas of liposuction.
The Brazilian #buttlift procedure uses liposuction to take fat from elsewhere in the body and inject it into the butt.
Meadows died from fat clots that caused her organs to fail by blocking her arteries, #MiamiDade coroners concluded in an autopsy report. less
