First Nations Women riding towards freedom on Motorbikes
BDWE collaborated with RHD Classic Supplies & Services – Sharine ‘Spanner’ Milne and her Team.
BDWE invited a few of our local First Nations Women to join us on the Leather ‘n’ Lace Motorbike Ride event. Spanner and her team at RHD Classic Supplies & Services provided their bikie mates and their Harley Davidson motorbikes.
BLAQ Diamonds Women’s Empowerment hosted a personal development event where we hosted in collaboration with a woman owned motorbike shop RHD Classics and qualified motorbike mechanic that has been listed recently in the Success magazine in the top 100 and has also received and recognised awards in Qld for Training in her business, supports charity, established charity foundations to support those in need.
We hosted to 10 women and we included our 2 kids to be part of this event we hosted the “Leather & Lace” chicks on bike ride, this event is unique to our solution oriented ways of spicing things up regarding stepping out of your comfort zone, fear, challenges and trust as these are to name a few important factors in the lives of women that go through and are going through or have been through violence and by having the bike ride there is no room for failure to believe in yourself and the rider that you are trusting. The youngest pillion was 10 years old, and the oldest was close to 70 years old.
This event gave insight into the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Women to view the way we look at things when we are in control that it isn’t impossible it’s possible to try and do new things.
The success out of this event is we have opened up and given new direction to the women of self-confidence, self-empowerment, self-love and being themselves to do what they are comfortable with on their journey!
Personal Development in the lives of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women after enduring ‘circumstances’ no matter what age is very important to have belief, hope, and prayer to achieve greatness.
