Black Girls Skate

Founded in 2019, Black Girls Skate (BGS) is a brand and non-profit devoted to creating equity, visibility and safety for skaters who identify as Black, African, or Of Color and/or women, differently-abled, or LGBTQ+. We are specifically invested in amplifying skaters across the Black diaspora with skating activities that include skateboarding, longboarding, roller skating, wcmx, figure skating and ice skating. This includes all skill levels, skate styles, and related sports. Everyone is welcome to join our events and all wheels are welcomed! Our mission is to raise skater visibility and increase skater safety practices, while providing positive safe spaces for new, aspiring, and professional skaters. We're building equity for those groups historically marginalized within skate culture and its developing industries.
