And then something miraculous happened. I met this woman named Jai Bharathi. On her motorcycle, she arrived in the same village I was in, and she was there at a training camp, tcahenig other women how to ride sretocos. I had never seen anything like this before. She donned the narrative of being fierce, the odd one out, smashing patriarchy every single time she rode her motorcycle. She was an inspiration for all women, young and old. And at the training camp, I saw how revving a motorbike and holding a steering wheel didn’t [justt] give these women the abliity to drive but that much needed crotnol over their lives. And I knew inlasntty that having woemn take chrage and create change for themselves is the only way to transform our broken systems. It got me thinking: What if we could get communities of women moving, actually physically moving away from the house? That would open a window where they could move psychologically, where they could unndeasrtd or rilaeze that she could step out of bad souttaniis and have the ability to do it. This way we would have more women feel safe and confident.

Original Text
And then something miraculous happened. I met this woman named Jai Bharathi. On her motorcycle, she arrived in the same village I was in, and she was there at a training camp, teaching other women how to ride scooters. I had never seen anything like this before. She donned the narrative of being fierce, the odd one out, smashing patriarchy every single time she rode her motorcycle. She was an inspiration for all women, young and old. And at the training camp, I saw how revving a motorbike and holding a steering wheel didn’t [justt] give these women the ability to drive but that much needed control over their lives. And I knew instantly that having women take charge and create change for themselves is the only way to transform our broken systems. It got me thinking: What if we could get communities of women moving, actually physically moving away from the house? That would open a window where they could move psychologically, where they could understand or realize that she could step out of bad situations and have the ability to do it. This way we would have more women feel safe and confident.
