Kamora Freeland's story proves that with the right support, there are no limits to what's possible. At just 17, Kamora Freeland is the youngest pilot in New York and one of the youngest licensed aviators in U.S. history. Lakema, Kamora's mother, discovered United Youth Aviators, a program for 13- to 18-year-olds to achieve their Airmans Certificate (Private Pilot License) or Remote Pilot Certificate ( Drone License). After being waitlisted for the program, was waitlisted, Lakema called the program every three months to advocate for Kamora's enrollment. Kamora finally got accepted into the UYA in 2021, and the rest was history. Kamora currently studies economics at Spelman College. She's also a birthing doula and lifeguard. As a multi-talented young woman, Kamora aims to inspire other Black girls to chase their dreams, with a strong desire to be part of the change needed in her community. Thanks, Kamora and Lakema, for showing us that the sky is NOT the limit!

Friends in Seattle! Please join G4GC and @Equity in Education Center for this exciting event!
Join us for an urgent and timely discussion with Dr. Monique Couvson, Ed.D., an award-winning author, social justice scholar, and national leader in advancing educational justice for Black girls. Recognized by TIME as a racial equity gap “Closer,” Dr. Couvson has spent nearly four decades working to dismantle systems that criminalize and push Black girls out of schools and into pathways of incarceration. Her groundbreaking research, including the acclaimed book and documentary Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools, has shaped national conversations about how schools can be places of healing, protection, and empowerment for Black girls. We will discuss: ? The vital role of schools in affirming and protecting the sacredness of Black girls. ? Strategies to resist the growing backlash against gender-specific and culturally relevant education. ? Advocacy tools and movement-building efforts to end the criminalization of Black girls in schools. After Dr. Couvson’s keynote, we’ll move into a dynamic conversation with Sharonne Navas, C.E.F., Co-Founder & Executive Director of the Equity in Education Center, and explore how we can take action together to create affirming, equitable educational spaces. ?? Date: March 18, 2025 ?? Location: PacMed Tower, Panoramic Room ?? Time: 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. ??? Lunch provided RSVP here: https://buff.ly/41vWO5q
