In 2024, we’ve talked to and learned from some of the region’s boundary pushing authors.

One of them is local automotive journalist Victoria Scott.

Victoria loves cars – as models of freedom, style, and engineering.

She also thinks car culture doesn’t have to be so male-dominated. 

Those two things drove her to write about and photograph trans women, nonbinary people, and their relationship to cars.

Her book is We Deserve This.
