She attended Missionary Baptist at 12 years old and when she graduated she began at Langston, but only was able to complete one term. At 23 she decided she wanted to learn to fly, but as a woman and African American she couldn't go to a school in the United States. So, she learned French and moved to France. In 7 months she had earned her license. Returning to US she began stunt flying and in 1922 became the first African American woman to fly in America.
