You’ve heard of the Wright Brothers. You’ve heard of Amelia Earhart. But what do you know about the first female African-American pilot, Bessie Coleman?
Gigi Coleman grew up hearing stories about her Great-Aunt Bessie. Inspired by her legacy, Gigi created an organization called The Bessie Coleman Aviation All-Stars and one-woman show to share Bessie’s too often ignored history with the world. Now, Bessie’s legacy will live on through a partnership with the Barbie Inspiring Women Series!
The Bessie Coleman doll is a celebration of resilience as Gigi Coleman honors her great-aunt and shares her story. Get inspired to memorialize the impactful people in your own life with writing prompts and challenge yourself to think outside your limits. Come ready to write in community and uplift the people who inspire you.
