As I reflect on the remarkable journey of black female pilots in aviation, I'm struck by the realization that they constitute only 1% of pilots. The starkness of this statistic sends shivers down my spine. But it also propels me forward, reminding me that we're not just rewriting history; we're shaping the future. The progress we make today isn't solely for us; it's for the aspiring pilots who will navigate the skies tomorrow. The path of diversity is a trail we blaze not just for ourselves, but for the generations yet to take flight.
In the World , Less than 6% of commercial airline pilots are Female
Less than 2% are Black
Less than 1% are Black & Female
