This episode of The Checkpoint podcast is sponsored by The North Face®. In episode 28, Sabrina and Sonny speak to Aneela McKenna – a Scottish Asian rider with Pakistani heritage - a trailblazer and a pioneer in the world of mountain biking.
Voted in 2021 as Single-Track Magazines ‘Most Outstanding Human’, Aneela works tirelessly in her campaigning for more diversity and inclusion in the world of mountain biking.
For over 20 years Aneela has worked in the Scottish parliament as Diversity and Wellbeing Inclusion Manager and, alongside this – with her husband Andy - co-founded a cycle tour company ‘Go Where Scotland’, where she leads on the Mor Diversity widening participation in cycling programme.
Aneela’s professional and personal passion for ensuring all feel welcome shines through in all she does and in her first short film – After the Storm - she shares her lived experience of growing up, experiencing racism, and how a series of particularly disturbing long running racist episodes with a work colleague almost broke her. The film, which we will discuss more later, is a must watch.
Listen to the hosts deep dive with this amazing, most outstanding human.
