“If I’m being honest, there probably were people that actually did want me to fail, to prove the point that women, especially black women, can’t do this job. I’ve always been a strong-minded and hard-working person, so I tend to let my work ethic do the talking.”
Despite the push for more diversity in hiring, less than five percent of career firefighters across the country are women, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

Charlotte PinC started off 2023 with Vision Brunch. Over 50 women gathered to eat, drink mimosas, clip pictures, share stores and just fellowship. Be on the lookout for our follow up event where we will check in to see where everyone is on their 2023 journey.

SISTERS WITH HORSES! 🐎
Looking for a new way to enjoy this beautiful weather without leaving the city? Next time you want to spend some time outside, consider horseback riding with the ladies of Sisters with Horses. The first all-Black women’s saddle club in Charlotte.
Angie, the founder of Sisters with Horses, thinks that everyone, even those with no experience, should have the opportunity to ride a horse.
