Kalia and Kania Williams, Black identical twin sisters , are breaking barriers in the firefighting industry. The 22-year-old siblings are members of the Rochester Protectives, a team of volunteers who work alongside firefighters in Rochester, N.Y., reported WXXI News . Their goal is to soon be admitted to officially work in the fire department. Though it isn’t common to see Black firefighters, especially Black female firefighters, that doesn’t stop the sisters from chasing their dreams. “It’s not really something that we grew up knowing that we wanted to do,” Kania said in an interview with WXXI News. “We just knew that we wanted to help people to the best capacity that we could.”
