|PrettyPinkPilots Short Documentary

A Story of Purpose, Passion, and Pink Skies

Every now and then, a piece of content captures your story in a way that leaves you speechless—and that’s exactly what Julius Shirley did in his short documentary about PrettyPinkPilots.

From the very first frame, the video paints a vivid picture of not just my aviation journey, but the heart and mission behind PrettyPinkPilots LLC. This wasn’t just about airplanes and licenses—it was about representation, grit, emotional growth, and the journey of a young Black woman navigating a historically male-dominated industry with a pink flight bag and unstoppable drive.

Julius captured my essence in a way that felt raw, real, and deeply intentional. From my roots in Georgia to becoming a commercial pilot, founding a company, and pouring back into the aviation community—this documentary highlighted the why behind everything I do.

Whether you’ve been following my journey from the beginning or just discovered PrettyPinkPilots, this video is a window into what fuels me:

• The struggle of breaking into aviation with limited resources

• The beauty of sisterhood and mentorship

• The importance of showing up fully—both emotionally and professionally

• The power of pink in a world that often forgets softness can be strong too

My Thoughts:

Watching the finished video brought a smile to my face. Not just because of how beautifully it was shot, but because it reminded me that my story matters. That our stories matter. Julius didn’t just hold a camera—he held space for my truth.

And I needed that. Especially in a time where I’m rediscovering my voice, my womanhood, and my love for flying beyond the logbook hours.

To everyone who watches this: thank you for being a part of this journey. And thank you, Julius, for helping me see myself again—through a lens that reflects strength, softness, and so much purpose.
