Women of Speedflying | Profile

I reached out to Julia Leiberman wanting to write a profile on her. She is a speedflyer who started the Instagram group "Women of Speedflying" as a way to promote female pilots. Or that's what I thought.
What emerged was the story of a woman who built a whole community and was actively redressing the balance of a male-dominated sport. The actions of this community created more inroads for women to enter the sport, and is helping to change the perceptions and culture for the better.

This was published as a feature in Cross Country Magazine, and a rewritten version on the Dispatches Substack.
