Summary
What does it take to fly a plane? For TED Fellow Refilwe Ledwaba, it took perseverance and drive — and an instructor who took the time to teach to her learning style. Today, as founder of Girls Fly Africa, Ledwaba is empowering the next generation of pilots, particularly young women, with the engineering skills, professional networks and hands-on experience they need to take flight into a sky-high career. After the talk, Modupe shares tips on how you can go the extra step as a mentor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
