Today officially marks four years on this spectacular journey towards pro cycling and increased representation for people of color! While 2018 had it’s share of disappointments, it also showed me lots of grace, favor, and success.

• I became a sponsored athlete

• Lead several workshops on representation across the country

• Graced the cover of a national magazine

• Published an article in a major cycling industry magazine

• Competed in a National Championship race

• Started a podcast just for women of color in cycling

• And rode 206 miles in one day in the Dirty Kanza 200

And a few other things, but these are the ones that stand out!

This year, I’m excited to announce a few new partnerships, and few old favorites! In 2019 I’ll racing on Liv Cycling bikes, shifting through SRAM gears, rolling on Zipp wheels, cranking out watts on a Quarq power meter, chomping on Clif bars, pedaling in Lake shoes, seeing through 100% racing glasses, training with Jim Lehman of Carmichael Training Systems, and fixing things with Feedback Sports tools and equipment.

I had waaay too much fun writing that last paragraph, if you’re still with me, thank you, you’re a star!

This was all a long winded way to say, I’m super excited, and cannot wait to share this year’s journey with you all.
