Ride Safe: One dyke’s journey to healing from the West Bank to the West Coast
This personal essay is about healing from trauma as an act of community safety, and it’s told through the story of multiple motorcycle trips I took alone beginning in 2005. The essay asks three primary questions: what is safety, how does my positionality inform when and where I feel safe, and what is our individual role in community safety?
