nAt a time where it was almost unheard of for Black women to fly, she wins a scholarship to an aviation school in Los Angeles and moves her family across country. Mama and the girls go through some tough times trying to make ends meet in their new home. But all their sacrifice is worth it when Mama finally gets to fly a plane in a first-of-its-kind Air Circus.
