Hi guys! Im Inaya and am currently completing my PPL(A). I am the first pilot in my family and I hope to inspire other muslim and POC women to go for their dreams and become that representation for young girls all around the world to show them that anything is possible.If you had told me a year ago that I would be flying planes and connecting with pilots I would never have believed it. Its communities like ElevateHER that have instilled that mindset of ‘anything is possible’ in my mind.

To my fellow aviators, continue to take up space, be that voice, and be the representation you wished you had because you absolutely deserve to be in those fields and careers.

Good luck to everyone in the competition!!

I look forward to connecting with you all xx

P.S. The photo attached is from the very first time I saw a sunset from the skies—my mind was completely BLOWN. It was during one of my first lessons in my PPL, and I was SO nervous. But seeing that view reassured me that, no matter what happens, this is exactly what I want to do.
