About This Event

Get ready for our next Speaker Series event!

Join us on November 15, 2025, for a morning with the remarkable Carole Hopson—a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines, founder of the Jet Black Foundation, and acclaimed author.

Carole's journey is a powerful testament to chasing a dream. After a successful 20-year career as a journalist and executive for major brands, she followed her passion to become a pilot. Today, she's not just flying planes; she's actively changing the face of aviation.

Inspired by the legendary Bessie Coleman, Carole founded the Jet Black Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to helping 100 Black women attend flight school by 2035.

Don't miss this chance to hear her story of passion, perseverance, and purpose. Her book, A Pair of Wings: A Novel—which beautifully explores the legacy of women who broke barriers in aviation—will be available for separate purchase, and Carole will be signing copies.
