EXCERPT
Many days, more often than not, I find myself the only Black flight attendant working a flight. In the beginning of my career, it was easy for me to feel like I had to work twenty times harder than my fellow White flight attendants. The mindset I implemented was patience, tolerance, and turning a negative into a positive. Sure, there will be some people who won’t allow the positive attitude to happen. Just smile, or don’t smile if it feels wrong, and let it roll off your back. Become innovative; leverage setbacks to spur greater advantages.
As a seasoned flight attendant, I found myself humbled and turned into a “servant leader,” empowered to make a difference. I do this by displaying concern, listening to fellow employees, trying to accommodate the public, and making a first and lasting impression of myself and the company.
We’re here to serve not just our customers but also our coworkers, which in turn allows the company to grow in strength and value to its employees and community. I’ve always had my own mind, and it comes naturally for me to help others if I see someone in need. While working my flights, most passengers were very accepting to the point where some would say they were glad to see me.
