Episode 12 - Yasmina Ahl Maris - Girl Trips, Girl Power
In today’s episode, I talk with Yasmina Ahl Maris, the bicycle mayor of Marrakech. I met Yasmina through BYCS, the Bicycle Mayor Network, and I became extremely interested in how she transitioned from riding her bike to school to bikepacking alone along the Atlas Mountains at the age of 22.
Yasmina discusses the challenges she faced, as well as the community that supported her from the beginning to the end. She made new friends on the road and had the most unexpected encounters. Her journey of advocacy is one of empowerment, of helping women believe in themselves and take a chance on adventure.
