24-years old Miracle Izuchukwu will soon make history when she officially becomes part of the 1% of Black female pilots for major commercial airlines around the world. The New Yorker is currently in training to become a commercial airline pilot and shares her journey on social media.

Miracle, whose parents are Nigerian, says that when she told her father about her plans, he told her that “if he gets on a plane and sees a woman as the pilot, he would get off the plane.” She admits she uses discouragement as fuel to succeed, earning her private pilot’s license in 2021 and moving forward with her commercial airlines training.
