Today, we kick off Women's History Month celebrating the remarkable legacy of Bessie Coleman, a trailblazer who broke barriers in aviation and continues to inspire Black travellers everywhere.

Bessie’s groundbreaking achievements remind us that challenges are simply opportunities in disguise. As the first African American woman to earn a pilot’s license, she not only redefined the skies but also paved the way for future generations.
In our modern world, Black travellers are carrying forward her spirit—exploring diverse cultures, challenging stereotypes, and making their mark on the global stage. Whether you’re setting off on a new adventure or navigating your way through the everyday, Bessie’s story encourages us all to embrace our journeys with determination and grace.
As you plan your next trip, remember that every new destination is a chance to continue a legacy of courage, resilience, and excellence. Here’s to honoring the past and boldly charting the future!
