Nora Dye and Shelby Knox
Nora Dye is Senior Program Coordinator at the Pro-Choice Public Education Project. Through Wanderlust, she is thrilled to be combining her two passions, exploring the world and the ways people are advocating for reproductive justice
and riding her bike. She is currently a graduate student at NYU
studying the Politics of Sexual Freedom. Last summer, she took a solo bicycle trip
from New Jersey to San Francisco called Wanderlust: A coast to coast
exploration of politics, sex, and culture. On her journey she met with
and listened to advocates, sexuality educators, and others who are
working for reproductive autonomy and combating negative images of
female sexuality. More information about her trip can be found at Wanderlust with Rhonda.
Shelby Knox grew up as a conservative Southern Baptist in Texas
turned activist and documentary film subject. She recently graduated from the
University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Political Science.
Throughout her college career, Shelby traveled across the nation to
speak to young people about the importance of comprehensive sex
education and the power of youth activism, using the film that carries
her name, The Education of Shelby Knox, as a vehicle for discussion.
She currently lives in New York City and is a full time speaker and
organizer working with progressive organizations to promote sex
education, women’s rights, and youth empowerment.
