More About IFRD Designer Porsche Taylor
As a rider with a background in historical research, Porsche Taylor became curious about other women who blazed a trail in motorsports and how they evolved in the new millennium. In her research, she found a lack of representation of women of colour in motorsports. In her research, she found a lack of representation of women of colour in motorsports. Seeking to fill this void, Porsche became the Founder and Editor-In-Chief of Black Girls Ride Magazine an inclusive celebration of all women who live to ride, featuring riders, racers, product reviews and riding events.
Founded in 2011, Black Girls Ride now celebrates eight years, and has expanded to include female riding workshops and events, including the Beautiful Bikers Conference. Since her early college days in the 90’s, Porsche honed her skill as a self-taught graphic designer, and developed expert skills in Adobe Photoshop, illustrator and InDesign. Inspired by Vicki Gray and her global network of female riders, she proudly offers her t-shirt design for International Female Ride Day® 2019.
“Since its inception, International Female Ride Day® has been a great source of pride for female motorcyclists. On this day, we come together annually to show our strength in numbers, and to celebrate the freedom only achieved through motorcycling. We thank Vicki Gray for spearheading this much needed celebration, recognising women who ride, all over the world!” – P.Taylor

I am the Riding Academy Manager for our Harley-Davidson Dealership. Last year was our first “All Ladies” learn to ride class, also taught by lady coaches, on this IFRD date. We are having our second annual “Ladies Only” class, 2019, again, corresponding with this date!
It’s so exciting that the first time many of our students will ride for the first time is on IFRD!!!!
Ok, I like the logo and merchandise options. But I have to ask: why print a button? They didn’t print a pin? WHY? I’m a rider, with a vest FULL of pins. I’d much prefer and I’d buy an IFRD logo pin. Can someone please develop a pin real quick? Thanks in advance!
