“I knew I wanted to be a pilot the minute I looked at a plane.” ✈️💖 
 
Meet @ghazalmia (Maya Ghazal), the first-ever female Syrian refugee pilot. In 2015, Maya’s family immigrated to the UK. Despite all the obstacles she’s faced, according to Maya, “being a pilot literally lives up to the sentence that the sky’s the limit.” 
 
“To be able to walk into that cockpit and do what I’m good at is a total win, not just for me, but for Syrians, for women, for refugees and for everyone who ever thought they couldn’t do something.”
