Building a Healthier Latinx Community

Posted on by Kiera Smalls

The Better Bike Share Partnership (BBSP) is an effort led by the City of Philadelphia that works to ensure that Indego bike share is accessible to all Philadelphians. The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia is a non­profit advocacy and education organization working as part of the Better Bike Share Partnership to support bike share and biking education. The Better Bike Share Partnership is funded by the JPB Foundation.

Having a healthier Latinx community while creating a supportive space that empowers Transgender youth has inspired Emmanuel Coreano to work with Indego.

We recently sat down with Emmanuel Coreano, community recruiter for Trans Informacion Project at GALAEI, and former member of the TIP youth program, to talk about his experiences and what made him strive toward becoming an advocate for building a healthy culture within his community.

Favorite thing about Philly: Definitely the people. Those people and their passion for the city make Philly a fantastic place for my two boys to grow up.
 
When did you become a Passholder and why?
I think it was when it was first introduced (founding member here! woot!). It was around Bike to Work Day two years ago. The weather was beautiful and I remember riding for the very first time. It totally brought me back to the freedom and fun of when I used to ride bikes as a kid, except it was part of my commute.
I was hooked right away. Since then, it’s been a part of my commute and preferred way to get around the city.
