It’s the person not the bike - Ayesha McGowan

Wheel Suckers Podcast

Ayesha McGowan aka A Quick Brown Fox is our first returning guest! She’s on phase two of her mission to be the first African American Pro female racer, working on education and advocacy within the cycling industry to support more POC and especially WOC. In this episode we catch up on what Ayesha’s been up to, we play the Representation Game, and learn a killer recipe for coconut recovery ice cream. ~ Sponsors ~ Katusha Sports http://katusha-sports.com Wardour Studios http://wardourstudios.co.uk ~ Guest ~ Ayesha McGowan www.aquickbrownfox.com http://twitter.com/ayesuppose ~ Additional listening ~ Listen to our LIVE PANEL recording "An evening with Ayesha McGowan and Jools Walker" https://soundcloud.com/wheelsuckerspodcast/live-panel-an-evening-with-ayesha-mcgowan-and-jools-walker Last year’s interview with Ayesha https://soundcloud.com/wheelsuckerspodcast/a-quick-brown-fox ~ Additional reading ~ It’s awkward to talk about race.
