Amazing Arizonans: Ex-Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett shares inspiring story

I met one of the most interesting and inspirational people for this episode of Amazing Arizonans.

Her name is Barbara Barrett. She is an ASU graduate. She has been an ambassador, secretary of the Air Force and started the U.S. Space Force. She’s worked for two U.S. presidents and continues to impact American policy.

She talks about being inspired by her friend Sandra Day O’Connor as well as being raised on a farm and rising to high positions in American government. I think you’re going to be inspired by her.
