Nationwide -- Steffanie Rivers, founder of TCB Drones Academy, made history as the first Black woman to register a drone academy in the state of Texas. Now, she’s paying it forward — offering a $1,000 Drone Pilot Scholarship to help more minorities and women enter one of the fastest-growing industries in America: drone technology.
Rivers, an FAA-certified drone instructor, is using her platform to create pathways for those who might not otherwise see themselves in aviation, STEM, or tech fields. Her vision is simple — to take flight and bring others along.
“We’re not just teaching people to fly drones — we’re helping them take control of their financial future,” says Rivers. “Representation matters, and this scholarship helps open the skies for everyone.”
New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!
