24-year-old Nigerian lady makes history as the youngest licensed commercial pilot in the USA

A 24-year-old Nigerian lady named Miracle Uzuchukwu has made history as the youngest licensed black female commercial pilot in the United States of America.

Miracle Uzuchukwu grew up in New York and recently became the youngest woman of color to be a black female commercial pilot in the United States of America.

Miracle said she grew up in a society that did not encourage young girls to dream big, career-wise but she remained determined. ”I remember watching lots of TED Talks to give myself more insights on possible careers that might interest me…to no avail,” she said.

She said she initially joined the aviation industry when she became a flight attendant with American Airlines.

Miracle said she had always wanted to become an Airline Pilot when she first encountered one while she was still working as a customer service representative.

She said the pilot opened her eyes to the possibility of becoming a Pilot and a few weeks later, she went on a discovery flight that sealed it for her.

Miracle said she was almost discouraged when she excitedly told her father about her plans but she said he told her that “if he gets on a plane and sees a woman as the pilot, he would get off the plane.”
