She Rides

"She Rides" an audio documentary about Fix Without Dix, or FWOD, an all women's and trans bike club in Oakland, CA. This was my first real attempt at an audio documentary, and it was produced in the Spring of 2011, while I was in graduate school at San Francisco State University.

The Giving State - Black Girls Code

When I learned about Black Girls Code, I knew I had to pay them a visit. BGC is a non-profit organization in San Francisco that teaches girls as young as seven about programming, robotics, math, science, and engineering. This is another in The California Report's ongoing series about volunteers in California, called The Giving State. (Photo courtesy of Black Girls Code.)

The Giving State - Spokeland

Spokeland is a volunteer-run bicycle co-op in Oakland. I've visited many times, and have learned how to overhaul my bottom bracket, repack my hubs, true my wheels, adjust my derailleurs, and do a bunch of other stuff. My favorite time to come work on my bike is during women's & trans only shop time, which is when I interviewed Senta Burke about why she volunteers at Spokeland. This piece was produced for The California Report's series about volunteers in California, called "The Giving State."
