Queen Bess. Brave Bessie. Aviatrix extraordinaire. First African American person - male or female - to obtain an international pilots license. Period. Need we say more? This week we are talking all about one of the pioneers of women in aviation - Bessie Coleman. She’s known today as someone who never took no for an answer and kept pursuing her dreams of flying high in the sky. All while standing up against racial segregation.

The daughter of illiterate sharecroppers, Bessie Coleman dreamed of a life above the clouds. Her ambition led her to an aviation school in France, where she became the first black woman in the world to earn an international pilot's license. Her courage and determination remain a testament to anyone faced with seemingly impassable obstacles.

This weeks episode we chat about Bessie Coleman who was an early American civil aviator. She was the first African-American woman and first Native American to hold a pilot license. And our CITN are all the women in Afghanistan who have gone back under taliban rule.We stop waffling at - 22:33Got an amazing story about a chick in history of your own?
