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!
