Kathryn Bertine is an author, activist, athlete, filmmaker and keynote speaker. As a former professional cyclist, Bertine is a three-time Caribbean Champion, six-time national champion of St. Kitts and Nevis (SKN) who raced for five years on the UCI World Tour circuit. Before cycling, Bertine had professional sports careers in triathlon as well as figure skating. Off the bike, she was an ESPN columnist and senior editor for ESPNW, and the author of four nonfiction books: All the Sundays Yet to Come (Little, Brown), As Good As Gold (ESPN/RandomHouse), The Road Less Taken (Triumph Books) and STAND (New Shelf Press). As an advocate for equality in women’s sports, Bertine started the social activism movement Le Tour Entier in an effort to bring parity to women’s professional road cycling, starting with the Tour de France. She and her team succeeded, and the women's field was included in 2014 with the addition of La Course by Tour de France, where she stood on the start line with Wiggle-Honda Pro Cycling. Her award-winning documentary, HALF THE ROAD: The passion, pitfalls and power of women’s professional cycling, debuted in 2014, won three film festivals and created important changes in the sport. In 2017, she founded and currently serves as CEO for Homestretch Foundation, a 501c3 which provides free housing to female professional athletes struggling with the gender pay gap. On the keynote speaker circuit, Bertine's speech "The Power of No One" chronicles her path in activism and educates/inspires others on how we're all capable of creating change... and why we must. Bertine holds a BA from Colgate University and an MFA from the University of Arizona. A native of Bronxville, NY she lives in Tucson, AZ. www.kathrynbertine.com (Join my mailing list!) www.homestretchfoundation.org Twitter: @kathrynbertine Facebook: @KathrynBertineAuthorAthleteActivist Insta: @kathryn_bertine
