Have you ever heard of Dindga McCannon? I had not until a dear sistergirlfriend gave me 365 Days of Black History in Praise of Women (2009 engagement calendar). In it I am discovering many women who I have not been acquainted. The calendar in this blog has been updated with many of my new found treasures.
Back to Dindga. She was born in 1947 and she is an artist and teacher. Her other accomplishments are listed as: illustrator, muralist, and jeweler. She also makes art quilts. (Check her out Cookie)! She was born and raised in Harlem.

For a very long time, no one told African American women that they could fly, so there are very few of them as commercial pilots. This website is for inspiring women to fly. Flying being defined as succeeding. Succeeding defined however you decide. We are simply here to tell you sistergirlfriend, YOU CAN FLY!
