A young woman of color who grew up in the Jim Crow South in the 1960s, faced insurmountable challenges to escape institutionalized racism, bullying, domestic violence, and generational poverty. Empowered by adversity, she persevered, and found a path to freedom. Through her faith in God, she gained wisdom, and found courage to explore non-traditional means to employment which radically changed her life. This book, Look! I Can Fly is part 1 of her autobiography, and it begins the retelling of her life story. Part two continues her journey and adventure as a soldier in the US Army. Also, this book tells how the integration of women into the Regular Army, during her period of service, proved to the naysayers and doubters that women could perform successfully under extreme conditions. Further, in part two of this work, she summoned the courage to write about the dark side of her military service, which included - sexual harassment, and a despicable, vile, and horrific act of violence. Her story continues with how these crimes of moral turpitude thrived deep in the ranks of the world's most powerful Army. As well as, how the systemic failures of this organization to eradicate and punish crimes against active duty military service women, resulted in her victimization. Also, she tells how these traumatic events impacted her physical and mental health. In part three of her story, she opens up about her decision to leave active military service; and how she struggled with depression, anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This book, closes one chapter of her life, as she begins the hard work to build a new existence in an ultramodern city and state. While at the same time, she's learning how to cope with a past life filled with traumatic events. All this and more will be included in the final book of her autobiography.
