In her research, she found a lack of representation of women of color in motorsports.  Seeking to fill this void, Porsche became the Founder and Editor-In-Chief ofBlack Girls Ride Magazine, an inclusive celebration of all women who live to ride, featuring riders, racers, product reviews and riding events.  Founded in 2011, Black Girls Ride now celebrates 8 years, and has expanded to include femaleridingworkshops and events, including the Beautiful Bikers Conference."
