Thank you for your nomination. Day 3 goes to Ajoa Abrokwa

"I am nominating Ajoa Abrokwa of “SheIsFocused” because of the impact and influence she has had within the cycling community in such a small period of time. As a Black Muslim Multisport Female Athlete, the founder of SheIsFocused, Ajoa Abrokwa is breaking barriers and creating spaces for women and girls like her to follow. I first started following SheIsFocused about a year ago, during the pandemic, and have not regretted my decision. I appreciate the work this business and brand is doing in one, trying to make cycling an inclusive space for Black and Muslim women and girls, but also in trying to use the bike as a tool for transformation. Whether it be through using cycling as a mental health solution or just in riding to make sure that I am meeting my physical exercise goals, SheIsFocused is relatable and inspiring. I recently attended one of SheIsFocused’s events. This event was centered around goal setting for the new year, and I can wholeheartedly say that I left this event feeling encouraged, validated, and supported. The space she created was so warming, especially with seeing other Black Muslim women talk about their goals. I am happy to know that platforms like SheIsFocused exist to address and provide resources for Back women’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It makes me excited for the future of cycling."

Day 24 goes to Anna Pauline “Pauli” Murray

Pauli Murray was an American civil rights activist who became a lawyer, women's rights activist, Episcopal priest, and author. Drawn to the ministry in 1977, Murray was the first African-American woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest, in the first year that any women were ordained by that church

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Murray was virtually orphaned when young, and she was raised mostly by her maternal grandparents in Durham, North Carolina. At the age of 16, she moved to New York City to attend Hunter College, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1933. In 1940, she sat in the whites-only section of a Virginia bus with a friend, and they were arrested for violating state segregation laws.

This incident, and her subsequent involvement with the socialist Workers' Defense League, led her to pursue her career goal of working as a civil rights lawyer. She enrolled in the law school at Howard University, where she was the only woman in her class. Murray graduated first in her class, but she was denied the chance to do post-graduate work at Harvard University because of her gender. She called such prejudice against women "Jane Crow", alluding to the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.

Day 23 goes to Daisy Bates

Daisy Bates was an American civil rights activist, publisher, journalist, and lecturer who played a leading role in the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957.

Her mother Millie Riley was murdered when Daisy was an infant. Learning that stoked Daisy's anger about injustice.

In 1952, Daisy Bates was elected president of the Arkansas Conference of NAACP branches. After their move to Little Rock, the Bateses decided to act on a dream of theirs, the ownership of a newspaper. They leased a printing plant that belonged to a church publication and inaugurated the Arkansas State Press, a weekly statewide newspaper. The first issue appeared on May 9, 1941
Stories about civil rights often ran on the front page with the rest of the paper mainly filled with other stories that spotlighted achievements of black Arkansans.

A significant role of Bates during the Civil Rights Movement was the advocating and mentoring of the Little Rock Nine. Bates' house became a National Historic Landmark in 2002 because of her role during the desegregation of schools.[14] Her house served as a haven for The Little Rock Nine. The planning of how desegregation would be carried out and the goals to implement were an important part of her role during the movement and specifically, the house was a way to help achieve advocacy for civil rights. Her house also was an official drop off and pick up place for the Little Rock Nine before and after school, every day. Because her house was an official meeting place, it became a center for violence and was often damaged by segregation supporters.

Bates then moved to Washington, D.C., and worked for the Democratic National Committee. She also served in the administration of U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson working on anti-poverty programs.

Day 21 - 22 goes to Mary and Emily Edmonson

Mary and Emily Edmonson were African Americans who became celebrities in the United States abolitionist movement after gaining their freedom from slavery. On April 15, 1848, they were among the 77 slaves who tried to escape from Washington, DC on the schooner The Pearl to sail up the Chesapeake Bay to freedom in New Jersey.

Although that effort failed, they were freed from slavery by funds raised by the Congregational Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, New York, whose pastor was Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent abolitionist. After gaining freedom, the Edmonsons were supported to go to school; they also worked. They campaigned with Beecher throughout the North for the end of slavery in the United States

In summer 1850, the Edmonson sisters attended the Fugitive Slave Convention, an anti-slavery meeting in Cazenovia, New York, organized by local abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld and others, to demonstrate against the Fugitive Slave Act, soon to be passed by the U.S. Congress.
At this convention, the sisters were included in a historic daguerreotype photograph taken by Theodore Dwight Weld's brother, Ezra Greenleaf Weld. Also included in the picture is the legendary orator Frederick Douglass

In 1853, the Edmonson sisters attended the Young Ladies Preparatory School at Oberlin College in Ohio through the support of Beecher and his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
That same year, Stowe included part of the Edmonson sisters' history with other factual accounts of slavery experiences in A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin.
