KIMBERLY ANYADIKE HONOREE In 2009, Kimberly Anyadike, an African American teenager of Nigerian descent made history and became the first African American female and the youngest person to fly an airplane on the 13-day flight from Compton, CA to Newport News, Virginia and back.

Kimberly achieved this great height and set the record after just two years of pilot training through a special after-school program she enrolled in which is run by the Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum.

Kimberly fell in love with planes and flying at the age of 12 while learning about the Tuskegee Airmen through the living exhibit at Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum inspired the then 12-year-old who had dreams of becoming a cardiovascular surgeon to achieve more and also become a certified pilot breaking records in America and for for all minorities, that they might hear about the muted legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, that they may be inspired to love out their dreams in spite of whatever obstacles they face. But also to bring light to the history of the Tuskegee Airmen, that they might be honored in their old age.

Kimberly was immediately awarded by the County of Los Angeles and was invited to visit the California State Capitol by the then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. She was also I was recognized by former President Bill Clinton, and had a day named after me in Tuskegee, Alabama (July 2nd) recognized for her achievements as a young pilot and received the Tuskegee Airmen’s inaugural Young Aviators Award in Tuskegee Alabama in 2015.

To add to all her greatness, Kimberly graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in Physiological Science and has been accepted into three medical schools and is excited to take her next big step this fall, towards becoming a flying physician.
