Badass woman of History: Queen Bess
Bessie Coleman (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926) was the first African-American woman and first Native American to hold a pilot license (and was the first Black person to earn an international pilot's license).
Born to a family of sharecroppers in Texas, Coleman worked in the cotton fields at a young age while also studying in a small segregated school. Coleman developed an early interest in flying, but African Americans, Native Americans, and women had no flight training opportunities in the United States, so she saved and obtained sponsorships to go to France for flight school. She became a high-profile pilot in notoriously dangerous air shows in the United States and was known as Brave Bessie or Queen Bess.

Where does the wood come from?
Most of the wood that O. Sophronia uses comes from small urban mills in California and Washington. We can tell you where the tree grew, often down to the street corner it grew on. Most urban logs end up in the landfill, so using urban lumber ensures that we're not wasting this amazing resource.
We work with the saw mills (especially Urban Wood Rescue, which Bethany used to manage) to get pieces of wood that we can then mill down and turn into beautiful pieces of jewelry.
