Monica Garrison | Opening Doors to Sport and Community

الوصف

In 2013, Monica Garrison rediscovered cycling as a means to manage stress, stay fit and spend time with her kids. What she gained were mental and physical benefits so powerful that she founded Black Girls Do Bike (BGDB) that same year. An organization that empowers all women to connect and experience the joy of cycling, it’s especially dedicated to opening doors for women of color and addressing health disparities. Now with over 100 chapters, BGDB allows women from across the world to form a deep sense of community through their passion for cycling and for giving back. On this episode, we hear from Monica and other inspiring BGDB members about their experiences with the group and their mission to democratize wellness.Learn MoreFind a Black Girls Do Bike chapter near you or donate to the organization on their website.Follow their journey and get to know more of the “sheroes” through their YouTube and Instagram.Inspired by communities who have changed their lives through sport?
