The First Documented Black African Woman to Travel Solo from East to West Africa on a Motorcycle

Afrobeats singer, Udoh Ebaide Joy, did a 9,000km trip from the Kenyan city of Mombasa to Lagos in Nigeria, and she spent more than three months travelling. The journey began earlier this year when Ms Joy flew to Kenya and bought a 250cc motorbike, which she named Rory. Having never even ridden a standard bicycle, let alone a motorbike, she took a one-week training course in the capital, Nairobi, to prepare for her adventure. Then, on 8 March, Ms Joy embarked on her odyssey through Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Angola, the Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Nigeria.
