I stood in the windy desert of Nevada watching one vehicle after the next launch out of the inflatable arch and into the sand ahead. Cheers and engine blips marked each exit from the Rebelle Rally base camp. These women were heading out into the unknown with nothing more than a map and a pencil to guide them. It was pretty badass.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world responded with public health measures, including nationwide lockdowns, social distancing measures, and travel restrictions.
