Breaking Barriers: Florence Nakagwa Uganda's First Female Pro Cyclist at Canyon//SRAM Generation


Listen Later

Welcome to this empowering episode of Zone2Speak, where I delve into the extraordinary journey of Florence Nakagwa, Uganda's trailblazing female cyclist. Florence's story is a testament to resilience and determination, starting from cycling 50 kilometers daily during the pandemic to support her grandparents, to rising as Uganda's National Road Champion in 2023. Her journey with Canyon Sram Generation marks a significant milestone in African women's cycling, overcoming numerous challenges along the way.

Join me as Florence shares her experiences and the barriers she faced, including gender inequality, visa issues, and limited opportunities as a female cyclist from Africa. Discover how she stays motivated and her vision for the future of women's cycling in Uganda and beyond. This is more than just a story about racing - it's about courage and breaking norms in a male-dominated sport.
