A trailblazer in female leadership, First Sergeant (Ret.) Queen Aza II is the 1st African American female in field artillery history to earn the rank of First Sergeant. She is also one of the first females to serve on the naval ship USS Wasp. Queen shares her story of grit, resilience, strength, and breaking boundaries, even when faced with adversity. Taking audiences on her journey to becoming the Army’s first African American woman field artillery first sergeant, she motivates women to overcome challenges with imposter syndrome, bravery, and life balance. With more than 20 years of experience in executive leadership, crisis management, and disaster response – including crafting doctrine for the DOD Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention Program – Queen speaks expertly about women in leadership and tactics that invite healthy cultures in times of crisis.
