Skate Like a Girl
share
In its 20+ year existence, Skate Like a Girl has utilized skateboarding as a vehicle to promote confidence, leadership, and social justice, creating space for stories like Alexa's (see "Transenders" below) and countless others. The parallels between the work this organization has been doing for decades and the accomplishments of non-traditional skaters are boundless and timeless.

"In Our Shoes"

"This zine serves as a snapshot of our community and our collective impact; a collage of stories, portraits, and action shots. Learn what skateboarding means to people in our shoes."
