Breaking Barriers

Show me what you cooked!

“The commercial skateworld, and even the few outlets for girl skaters that exist tend to center white people and culture. Growing up as second-generation Latina, we absorb New York skateboarding and street culture through the lens of a transnational immigrant politic. Brujas, a spanish play off of the cult classic “The Skate Witches,” is about Latina Barrio girl pride. We put forward a vision of a world where women from the barrio, girls like us, are powerful and have agency and channels to express themselves in the streets. As a crew we are aiming to be something in between the Young Lords and Quartersnacks. Revolutionary cosmic Femmes with steelo is how I look at it.”
