1916, Georgia Robinson, a governess from New Orleans, who had traveled West on a Wagon Train, was invited to become LA’s first female policewoman of African American descent.
It wouldn’t be until 1950, that the first African American female would be appointed to the rank of Sergeant.
We need to thank Georgia for being a true pioneer! Can you believe it took over 30 years for an African American women to become a sergeant? Of course we can. We should not allow that to happen again for any woman pursuing flight!

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!
