This is so exciting! Finally a dedicated BIPOC Roller Skate Group in YYC!
The community was so very lacking in previous years but is growing steadily and it's a beautiful thing to see, especially since roller skate history is tied to black culture (like so many other things in our lives).
We see you!!! WE NEED YOU! This is what makes a true skate community, it's essential and what is missing in Calgary, in our opinion. YYC demographically is lacking black people, plain and simple - how do you have a proper roller skate scene without black people? Well you try and pay homage and respect to the orignators, and carry on.
But now YYC has a passionate black woman named Olivia @livvyskates, who is leading this movement, and is going to bring it to another level (sooo many people around the world are legit happy it's her!)!!
Check out this group and find your skate people and your skate home @therollerjungleroom
THE ROLLER JUNGLE ROOM, BRINGING YOU HARD SKATE VIBES SOOOOON!
