  • Amazing!

    As a woman of color in the aviation industry, it’s more the norm to be an “only” on a routine basis. Being an “only” you can feel lonely and isolated, but not with these ladies. The entire notion of embracing that, leaning into it and finding a family within the group of “only’s” is like finding your long lost tribe. The conversations and topics are engaging and I look forward to topics they explore next.
