Sandra J. Wayne Campbell                Kansas City, Kansas

In flying helmet and goggles, she stands in a pool of light on the stage and recreates the exciting story and
persona of Bessie Coleman - the first African-American woman to win her wings as an aviator.  Sandy's show
"Follow Your Dreams" is the result of years of work researching Bessie's history and bringing it alive so young
people in search of their own futures can become inspired to similarly reach for the greatness within
themselves.  From Wolf Aviation Fund web site. Image from a photo by John Dow
A public school teacher remembers that Sandy came to Lawrence, Kansas, several years ago and gave a
memorable performance.

She was inspired to write "Follow Your Dreams" after standing in for Bessie Coleman’s posthumous induction
into the Women In Aviation International "Hall of Fame" in 1995. Since the first performance Sandra has been
traveling the country telling this compelling story to young and old.
