Rainbow Rider

Shelle Lichti, a long-haul trucker and an unapologetically lesbian woman, drives the “Rainbow Rider,” a towering 18-wheeler wrapped in a blast of rainbow colors that can be spotted from miles away. On the open road, that visibility is powerful and dangerous. From slurs on the radio to tire-stabbings, sabotage and gunfire, Lichti has seen what hate can do. But she also knows what visibility can spark.
