Tarsha Echols has lived a life that refuses neat categories. She grew up, in her words, “a hood rat” from Memphis, graduated from Amherst College as a biology and French double major, and went on to build a 28‑year career as a flight attendant, where she has had a front‑row seat to humanity at 35,000 feet.
But it’s what happened in 2021 that reshaped everything. What she thought was a bout of Covid turned out to be severe pneumonia and life‑threatening blood clots. She flatlined, slipped into a coma, and somehow came all the way back.
Tarsha talks about the resilience she developed early in life, the shock of feeling “less than” for the first time in her life at Amherst, the joy she finds in animals and rescuing dogs, the scariest thing she has encountered mid-air, and the thrill and purpose that comes from surviving something you weren’t supposed to survive.
