black history month

Chronicling the Black bicycling experience in the DC region

Black History encompasses so much more than enslavement, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s. I like to use the month to celebrate the spirit and ingenuity of my ancestors: those in my family tree and all those to whom I look for guidance and inspiration.

A Few of My Favorite Things

As the DC Trail Ranger Coordinator, I’ve spent a lot of time on the trails we maintain and serve. What is gained is more than knowledge of broken-glass patterns, it is an appreciation of the smaller details of a trail, built up over repeated shifts. Or from that one quiet shift when things feel a little boring and you finally stop to actually observe the flowers. The flowers on Marvin Gaye Trail are pretty great.
