Want to change the world you live in? Be like Molly.
Following her passion for biking, Molly ended up in Portland and saw a need to create a community where anyone felt welcome. She started a bike shop, assembled a legit all-women’s biking team, and created a community where non-binary, non-gendered, trans, and queer folx could be supported on their biking journey. Molly was a major part of the movement that led Portland to become the thriving, diverse biking community it is today.
I had the privilege of working with Molly at the GU Energy athlete camp in Tucson earlier this year. We immediately hit it off, and so I asked if we could record a podcast. The discussion ended up being fascinating. Molly has a depth of experience in community building that kept me asking more. As a community builder myself with the November Project, I really enjoyed hearing about her experience. We covered a lot in this 2-hour conversation, and yet there was so much more I wanted to talk about. I would definitely do this again with Molly.
We talked about:
* Her journey from a punk-rock skater in SF, to building much-needed bike communities and professional teams in Portland, to picking up a camera and telling the overlooked stories.
* The artistry behind athletics and moving through a space via a bike or your feet.
* Her creative process, involving instinct and experience, and always starting the day with a clean slate.
* How she’s trying to create a process that gives her more time to be with family and friends.
* The importance of considering BIPOC folx and their skin tones in your photography.
* Access in the sport and our responsibility as media people.
* The power of relationship building over decades.
* Inspiration through movement.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
If you missed episode 1 with Zach Litoff, check it out. I just received his book in the mail from the Olympic Trials last year, and it is stunning! I’m taken by the sheer amount of work that went into this book. Not just the creation of the book itself, but the body of work that he put in here. It’s visually stunning, beautiful, creative, and even funny at times. Highly recommend purchasing a copy and supporting his work!
