When the cockpit looks like you 👩🏽‍✈️ 👨🏾‍✈️

1.13.20

I was going through my pictures and look what I came across! A picture I took with Delta’s Detroit Chief pilot Captain Stephanie Johnson! Can you see the excitement on my face when I worked with my first black female CAPTAIN!!! This is where it all started for me. I could have cried to see her sitting there as the BOSS of the airbus 320. I was so excited for her to take off and land. I was so proud to be a black woman that day! I just wanted to stand next to her in all her glory! All I could think of is everything she probably went through to get in that left seat and she’s there! She made it! She did it! Nothing stopped her from getting there and her position is proof! She is the hope that girls like me need. She dominated a male profession! It can be done! I know she worked her butt off to be where she is and since she has paved the way I plan on following right in her footsteps all the way to the top! Embrace the process.
