Holon Law Partners’ Post

I am BEYOND excited for our upcoming podcast guests … women who have embraced unprecedented experiences, experiences that have shaped and defined their own lives, blazed trails for future generations of women, and forever changed the landscape of our nation … and they have graciously agreed to share their journeys with us! 🚀🌏🪐 This month - AUG 2024 - we talk with SIAN “LEO” PROCTOR, PH.D. the mission pilot for SpaceX Inspiration4, the first all-civilian mission to orbit Earth. She is the first female commercial astronaut pilot, the first African American commercial astronaut and the only African American woman to ever be a mission pilot! We chose her for the month of August because August 12-13 is the Perseid Meteor Shower, the most popular meteor shower of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, where the Perseids bring between 50-75 meteors per hour in rural locations. 🏙️🇺🇸🛩️ Next month - SEPT 2024 - we sit down with HEATHER “LUCKY” PENNEY, USAF who answered our nation’s call on 9/11. She was a 25-year old first lieutenant and the first woman to serve in her Air National Guard unit at Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington DC. That morning, it became clear that our country was under attack, terrorists using our own commercial airliners to strike the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon and heading toward the White House. Penney and her wingman scrambled their F-16s and took off to intercept the last airplane “by any means necessary.” Since there was no time to arm their F-16s, this meant they were on an unheard-of kamikaze mission to fly their jets into that final airliner. We could not think of a more worthy guest to commemorate September 11th, our Day of Remembrance. #womenempoweringwomen #womeninspace #womeninmilitary #trailblazers Sian “Leo” Proctor, Ph.D. Heather Penney Holon Law Partners Melissa Rueschhoff Daphne Benford-Smith, Esq.
