Kamora Freeland made headlines last year for achieving a groundbreaking feat - becoming the youngest Black woman to earn her pilot's license at just 17 years old. She has now taken her talents to an all-women college in Atlanta, known for its rich history and empowering atmosphere. Despite being a sophomore, Freeland has advanced enough in her studies to be considered a second-year student.
In an interview with the Advance/SILive.com, Freeland expressed her excitement and mixed emotions about starting college. She sees it as an opportunity to learn more about herself and embrace her newfound independence while juggling academics, friendships, and late-night study sessions. It's a whole new world for her, but she is ready to take on the challenge.
Freeland's journey to becoming a pilot may seem unconventional, as she initially had her sights set on exploring the ocean. However, after a flight lesson in 2021, she discovered her passion for flying and hasn't looked back since. In a playful tone, she joked about earning her pilot's license before her driver's license. At just 17, she holds the title of the youngest pilot in New York and is among the youngest in history to achieve this feat.
Since last February, Freeland has been legally qualified to fly a plane with up to 12 passengers. Her love for flying and the potential for a lucrative career in the field has inspired her to pursue becoming a commercial airline pilot in the future. However, her current major at Spelman College is finance with a minor in entrepreneurship. While her ultimate career path is still uncertain, one thing is for sure - Freeland's passion for flying will always be a part of her life.
As she continues to make strides in her academic and personal growth, Freeland is also part of an organization called Sisters of the Skies, dedicated to diversifying the aviation industry. With her experience as a pilot, she hopes to inspire and encourage other young women, especially those from underrepresented communities, to pursue their dreams and break barriers. It's clear that Kamora Freeland is not just a pilot, but a trailblazer, paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse future in the skies.
