405. That's the approximate number of females of African American heritage who can say they're part of the Air Force Academy Alumni and we had the opportunity to chat with one of them!  #girlpower #magic  The Air Force Academy allowed women to attend beginning in 1980 and the number of graduates to date, including the class of 2020 is about 405...that's about 10 graduates per year for the past 40 years!

This conversation is saturated with positive experiences of a BL-ASIAN female pilot graduate from the Air Force Academy who successfully completed the Academy in 2005 due to her supportive friends and classmates of all backgrounds!  She is an Operation Iraqi Freedom combat veteran, where she served as a mission commander in Baghdad, Iraq as a counterintelligence agent. She earned an accelerated promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and serves in the Indiana Air National Guard as the Commander of the 122d Communications Flight and Chief Information Officer (CIO). She loves flying and desires to develop and serve missionaries through aviation. 

We talk with Lt Col Jennifer-Ruth Green about her bi-racial background which allows her to roam between different racial groups...a bonus for someone as dynamic as she is, we talk about the first black bomber ACE, being qualified to stand on the shoulder of giants and her three-point mentor criteria that is race, gender, and orientation exclusive. 

Come, join this conversation!
