Black Aviation History in the Making
So proud of Lorenzo and Stan McDuffie for a major breakthrough with the FAA ✈️🔥 Lorenzo is a member of the King’s Circle, and his company, SunEx Aviation, has officially received a Part 135 acceptance letter from the Federal Aviation Administration. This means SunEx Aviation is now formally recognized to provide air passenger and air cargo services — a huge milestone in the aviation industry. What makes this even more powerful: Lorenzo and Stan are among the very few Black-owned aviation schools in the world. And this didn’t happen overnight. The FAA application process began four years ago. Four years of consistency, resilience, and unwavering belief. This is a powerful reminder to all of us: Never give up on your dreams Go all in Stay committed, even when the process is long and challenging: Alongside running his company, Lorenzo has played a major role in helping to build the King’s Circle ecosystem. He consistently pours into others. And the impact doesn’t stop there. Lorenzo and Stan will also be working with the King’s Circle / Across the King’s River Foundation to develop an aviation program for the next generation of pilots. This program will not only teach the technical skills of aviation but will also ground students in African spirituality and Black feminist thought — shaping pilots who are skilled, conscious, rooted, and purpose-driven. This is how legacy is built. Excellence, culture, and community—moving together. Truly honored and blessed to have Lorenzo with us. Let this win inspire someone today 🙌
