From Flight Attendant to becoming the youngest black female pilot for commercial airlines in USA - the inspiring story of Miracle Izuchukwu.
Miracle Izuchukwu is among the elite 7% of female pilots and 1% of Black female pilots worldwide.
Miracle moved from Nigeria to the U.S. with plans to study nursing but ended up in the aviation industry as a flight attendant. Despite the challenges, she earned her commercial and Instrument Rated pilot licenses from the Federal Aviation Administration, USA.
“I grew up in a society that didn’t encourage girls to dream big when it came to careers. I watched countless TED Talks to find inspiration, but nothing clicked.”
“In 2019, I met an Airline Pilot while working as a customer service rep. He showed me that becoming a pilot was possible. A few weeks later, I went on a discovery flight, and that sealed it for me.”
“When I got home that day, I called my dad to tell him I was thinking of becoming a professional pilot. His response was, ‘If I get on a plane and see a woman as the pilot, I would get off.’ The pain and confusion were overwhelming—I wanted his approval.”
“Even so, I believed I could make it. I used that discouragement as fuel to keep going,” said Miracle Izuchukwu.
Miracle Izuchukwu, a trailblazing commercial pilot from Agulu, Anambra State, defied all odds to join the elite ranks of Black female pilots worldwide.
Very proud of you, Nwanyi oma ❤️
