Devoted Mom Motivates Her
Son To Face His Fears And
FLY HIGH
Exclusive Article And Interview by
Kamau Austin with
William Inlaw and Tanika Inlaw-Chambers
William Inlaw and Tanika Inlaw-Chambers
16-year old William Inlaw's dreams are literally taking flight. He is driven to soar high in his life's pursuits. For William losing altitude in his aspirational pursuits isn't an option.
Much of William's inspiration comes from his mom Tanika Inlaw-Chambers, who has challenged him to achieve lofty heights. She has helped motivate him to ultimately face his fears - so the skies are the limit in his life now! This has inspired the young man to propel himself towards his inflight goals of: becoming a licensed airplane pilot this Summer.
It has been reported that up to 40% of Americans have a fear of flying. It is therefore, exceptional that young William Inlaw, not only has overcome the natural anxiety many people have of flying, but has gone a step further to pilot himself to actually embrace flying a plane.
William's aspirations aren't just elevating him beyond his personal anxieties about flying but he is hovering above a backdrop of the rarity of Blacks in aviation. According to the Chicago Times, and other reputable media sources, there are reportedly only 2.2% to 3.5% of Black pilots in the US.
Obviously, it would be a good thing for Blacks to have more representation in the aviation industry in general - and therefore a good thing to help see him succeed. William and his mom Tanika, are looking to have him reach - the rare achievement of a Black teenager becoming a licensed airplane pilot.
