Before aviation, she built a career as a journalist with the Philadelphia Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer and The Bergen Record. She later held roles with the NFL and Foot Locker before following her passion for flight and becoming a Certified Flight Instructor and airline captain. Captain Hopson discusses her historical novel A Pair of Wings, which tells the inspiring story of aviation pioneer Bessie Coleman, who traveled to Europe to earn her pilot’s license after being denied flight training in the United States because she was a Black woman. She also highlights the work of her nonprofit, the Jet Black Foundation, which is helping create pathways for future aviators, including initiatives connected with Tuskegee University.
