Flying Past Barriers: Celebrating Women’s History Month With America’s First Black Woman Combat Pilot Vernice “FlyGirl” Armour

Guest: Vernice "FlyGirl" Armour As part of our observance of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, we wanted to hear from someone who has played a substantial role in that history. Meet Vernice “FlyGirl” Armour, America’s first Black woman combat pilot. That’s a big first for aviation, but it isn’t the only first in her exciting, groundbreaking story. FlyGirl joins host Morgan Beard in the HR Break Room®, to discuss her gutsy, trailblazing path from the Nashville Police Department to two tours in Iraq and beyond. In this candid conversation, FlyGirl touches on: overcoming the obstacles of gender equity in the workplace breaking through old fears and paradigms holding business leaders accountable for diversity and inclusion efforts
