Sequana Joi Harris[1] (December 11, 1976 – August 14, 2017)[2][3] was an American motorcycle road racer and stuntwoman.[4] She made history as the first African American woman to be licensed as a motorcycle road racer, racing professionally since 2014, after taking up motorcycling in 2009.[5] She died while performing a motorcycle stunt, doubling for the character "Domino" on the set of Deadpool 2,[6] Harris's bike crashed near the Rogers Tower during filming.[7]

Racing career

Harris promoted road racing to both women and the African American community.[5] She learned to ride a motorcycle in 2009[5] and began racing in 2012.[8] By 2013 she earned her racing license[6] and made history in 2014 as the first African American woman to race professionally in motorcycle road racing.[5] That same year, she established her own racing team, Threader Racing, competing under the number #24.[9][10]

In 2017, she raced in the NJMP and SPR classes on the CCS circuit of ASRA[11][12] where she achieved a victory during the 2017 circuit.[13][14][15][16]

Death

Harris was on her first stunt shoot for Deadpool 2, in 2017.[7] On August 14, 2017, during filming, Harris was riding without a helmet in downtown Vancouver when she lost control of her bike, hit a curb, and was thrown into the Rogers Tower. She had been doubling for actress Zazie Beetz, who portrayed Domino in Deadpool 2.[4][7][6][8][17] Harris died at the scene.[7][2]

Her death marked the second fatality in two months among stunt performers in North America, following the July death of stuntman John Bernecker on the set of The Walking Dead TV series.[17] Deadpool 2 was dedicated to Harris.[18]
