Founding Sisters
The Founders of Supreme Ladies M/C, Inc.
In October 2000, Chiffon Alford, Sandee Smith & Melissa Franklin participated in the Bill Edwards Teddy Bear Run for the Children's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Chiffon and Sandee proposed to Melissa an idea of an all-female motorcycle club.
The three ladies agreed to create an all-female motorcycle club and immediately began putting their ideas in place. They viewed motorcycling as a means to educate, unify, and promote public relations. The three of them successfully established bylaws, a scholarship fund, incorporation registrations, colors, election of officers and more.
They became committed to creating a sisterhood for all female riders as well as a networking tool within the motorcycling community at large. Supreme Ladies became the first African American all-female motorcycle club in the area; which was established primarily for, but not limited to, female African American nonprofessional and professional motorcyclist. The primary focus was to support charitable functions, improvement of communities within the United States and any other country in the free world as viewed by the nation. In addition to making the motorcycling communities and the public aware that women are serious motorcyclist and deserve recognition as such.
A scholarship was dedicated in memory to Sandee's mother, the Shirley "Sugar" Smith. Miss. Smith was a hard working single mother, dedicated to the education and well-being of her children. However, to the motorcycle community, she was most known and respected for being the President of All of US Motorcycle Club which was predominately men.
The foundation, laws, and a scholarship are in place, it is time to meet the new members. On January 14, 2001, the founders met with the new potential members and the rest became history......
We have risen and are here to stay!
