Today we are going to celebrate black women motorcycle riders. Women have played an important role in the black motorcycle world since the 1940s, when Bessie Stringfield (aka the “Motorcycle Queen of Miami”) rode her Harley across the United States.
These sisters don’t just ride; they also nurture their male members. When I say nurture, I mean take care of the “guys” by bringing food, having meaningful talks, riding and so much more. Only in the black motorcycle set can a woman wear what we call a “cuttie.”
Women Like Misty from Brothers of the Sun MC paved the way and opened doors for sisters to ride alongside their brothers. They opened doors, so we, as women, could socialize and enjoy the MC world.
For Black History month, we are going to celebrate our Brothers of the Sun member Misty(who is really a sister, only one with this honor). She has dedicated over 30 years to the organization and is a true motorcycle trailblazer.
Go ahead with your bad self, Misty!
