Born 1892 in Texas, Bessie faced challenges of racism and sexism that were prevalent at the time. In 1920, living in segregated Chicago and working as a manicurist, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a pilot. Despite being denied instruction by white pilots, she sought advice from Robert Abbot, publisher of the Chicago Defender. Abbot suggested she get trained in France, where Black people had more opportunities.

Bessie Coleman enrolled in the Caudron Brothers School of Aviation in France, earning her pilot's license on June 15, 1921. She became the first African American woman to receive a pilot's license, breaking barriers in both race and gender. Bessie recognized the need for further training to perform stunts and open her own flight school. She returned to Europe, training in France and Germany, flying alongside experienced pilots.
