Growing up in Florida, Deborah Fairchild loved music and everything that went with it, but she didn’t know how she would make her way in the industry without a musical talent.
“I didn’t really know exactly what I wanted to do. I can’t sing, I’m not a great guitar player, I do have guitars, I’m not amazing in that way,” the VEVA Sound president said.

In honor of Women s History Month and International Women s Day (March 8th), we re highlighting women making history today and changing the world right now during a debilitating pandemic, no less. From the first women to overwinter solo in the high Arctic to the engineer who delivered the news to all earthlings that NASA s rover touched down on Mars and the biochemist whose scientific research paved the way for a COVID-19 vaccine, this is merely a selection of women who made historic strides and achievements in a locked-down and downtrodden era. You might not know all their names now, but their impact on the world will go down in history.
This is how International Women’s Day came into existence, and how it’s celebrated around the globe

Fisher and Rose have rarely worked with other women while flying before this. I was flying for about 15 years before I worked with my first female pilot in Phoenix, Arizona. And, you know, Sam is the third female pilot that I ve worked with, Rose said.
Fisher says she d only worked with one other woman as a flight instructor.
It s one of the reasons Rose posts TikTok videos showing what it s like for her and Fisher behind the scenes. I post these videos because I want to inspire people, I m hoping any young girl out there or females seeing these videos will say, Hey, I can do that! Rose said.
