"The White Women I Know" Episode 5

The season’s final guest is dual-rated pilot, mother, and vegan badass, Odile Murphy. In true firecracker fashion, she discusses the privileges of being a small white female (and the cons of being a small white female pilot), how professional guidelines can be critical in the real world, and why taking baby steps makes life more manageable.
