Shelby Iwatani Cramer

As a woman of color whose world opened because of a bicycle, Shelby is interested in exploring how women, girls, and gender diverse people in Southeast Asia and central Africa empower themselves by accessing opportunities, community, and education through the use of the bicycle. Shelby seeks to question the role of the bicycle in community-building as they travel around the Philippines, Vietnam, Timor Leste, Indonesia, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
