We started SWMA Inc. in 2023 as a way to join women of the Southwest and give them an outlet to connect, meet, and learn. We are a group of women who have combined, over 100 years experience in the motorcycling industry. We come from all types of backgrounds, including: Motocross, Off-road, Track racing, Trials, Coaching, Mentoring, Volunteering, etc. We all have a passion and love for the sport of motorcycling and wish to expand the sport in the southwest and give back where it is so sorely needed. 

To support, fund, teach and help women who are injured in the sport or have illnesses such as cancer. 

We are a registered nonprofit in the State of Texas with a 501(c)(3) status. All donations are tax deductible and go a long way to help female motorcyclists all over the Southwestern United States.

Lacie is a motorcycle coach, enduro, desert and cross country racer. She also rides adventure and sport bikes. Lacie adores teaching both women and kids how to ride. Her passion for the sport of motorcycling is what pushed her to start the SWMA.  You can often catch her out at the races with either her camera in hand or working with kids and women on their riding skills!

Kaitlynn owns her business, The Women’s Dirtbike Training Academy. Her mission statement is to help women find confidence and independence within the motorcycle industry. "My grandma and dad taught me how to ride when I was 5 years old. Over the years I have grown and blossomed into a leader to hand down the knowledge that was taught to me. I want to give back to the womens riding community to fan the flames for those who love riding dirtbikes, as I do. I would like to continue to dedicate time and energy towards my mission."
