Today Grace is joined by long-time friend and fellow alum of Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, Olivia Kaufman. We meet Olivia in the midst of a big life transition, as she closes the chapter on a nearly decade-long career in Emergency Medical Services and embarks on her bright future as an airline pilot. Olivia shares her perspective on navigating these cis male-dominated fields as a proud butch lesbian wife and mother, her hopes for diversity, inclusivity, and visibility, and what it was like to be an out lesbian at 16 years old in Houston, TX. Olivia hopes that you will unapologetically chase your dreams, no matter who has or hasn't been there before you.
