Cleared for Takeoff
Captain Nia Gilliam recounts a life dedicated to the sky, from childhood dreams to the cockpit, all while navigating the unique challenges of being a Black woman in aviation. Her memoir vividly details the harrowing moments of September 11th, not from the air, but from the ground, witnessing the unfolding tragedy that irrevocably altered the landscape of air travel and her own sense of purpose. This is a story of resilience, of honoring the trailblazers who came before, and of finding the strength to soar again after profound loss and personal crisis.
