About Me

Skate Like a Girl is a group of *girl skateboarders who are determined to create an inclusive counter-culture to the all too often exclusive mainstream skateboarding culture. We believe that skate culture should be welcoming to all people, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, ability, body size, class and age. We organize weekly skate jams, a week-long summer skate camp and annual events, as well as offer instructional clinics to groups of all ages. We strive to build coalitions with other community projects that are working for social justice and we seek to support other grassroots girl skate organizations globally...

Heroes:

.. .. All of the girls, fat?so!s, queers and trannies, folks of color, older, (dis)abled and poor people that are BRAVE enough to show up at the skatepark and TAKE UP SPACE....*SLAG respects everyone's right to self-identify their sex and gender identities. That means that, unlike Michigan Women's Festival, we won't turn you away if you havent been "socialized as a girl/woman", were not assigned 'female' at birth, or were assigned 'female' at birth but have since realized that your gender is just a bit more complicated than that. Heck! You're even welcome if you were assigned female but have since transitioned!...In short, ALL GIRLS/WOMEN are welcome!
