In her 40’s, Shantell Williams decided to learn how to ride a Harley.

Eight months later, she rode her Harley across the 48 contiguous States Of America to bring attention to Bessie Stringfield, the WWII Black, Female,  Army Dispatch Rider that traveled the 48 States eight times–encountering racism, sexism, and danger around every corner.

Shantell traveled the 48 States as Bessie did...alone, but with the aid and encouragement of The Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Company. She made the ride in 27 days and at the end of her journey, Harley Davidson inducted Bessie into their Hall of Fame. They also created an Award in Shantell’s honor, The Shantell Williams Mileage Award and is given to the rider that rides the farthest to attend Harley’s yearly Urban Bike Night on the anniversary of Bessie’s induction. 

This summer, Shantell is going to do it again...only faster. And this time, she’s riding into the record books. With the spirit of Bessie Stringfield, and her faithful Muppet-like version of herself, Minnie-Me, with her on every ride, Shantell will not only travel through America tasting the lives and flavors of the tapestry that is The United States—Food, Roadside Attractions, Historic Places, Karaoke, festivals and parties—but she will introduce America to Bessie by traveling the lands she traveled, taste the life she lived, and face the dangers she faced. Shantell will witness what has changed in 80 years...and what remains the same. Only the road ahead knows what surprises await her.

“Shut Up and Ride” is a tribute to Bessie Stringfield and testimony to the Power of Women that are told, “You can’t...”

It’s a celebration of all things motorcycle, a celebration of Life, and a celebration of America.
