Summary: The world of good urban advocacy is still often dominated by a white male voice. One of our goals for Third Wave Urbanism is to bring to the forefront the many varied voices that aren't necessarily highlighted in conferences and panels, the news, and publications. One of those voices over the years in New York City has been Helen Ho, a longtime activist for safe cycling in the city and currently the Director of External Affairs at LaGuardia Community College in the great borough of Queens. As a New York native, Helen talks about her experiences living and working in the city and field of bicycle advocacy as a minority woman, including her work with the Biking Public Project - an initiative that aims to "expand local cycling advocacy discussions by reaching out to underrepresented bicyclists around New York City including women, people of color, and delivery cyclists". Helen can be found on Instagram and Twitter as @ helenshirley and you can find more information about the Biking Public Project at http://bikingpublicproject.tumblr.com/. As always, you can find us on Twitter @ thirdwaveurban. On Instagram and Twitter, you can find Katrina posting photos as @ think_katrina and Kristen's commentary @ blackurbanist. Our website is thirdwaveurbanism.com, and you can find us on all major podcast platforms. And if you like this, please give us a rating! We're dedicated to continuing discussions like these, and would love to hear what you think.
