It is Christamas!!! By Ekaterina Nekrasova, 6th grader

longboarding

On Tuesday, December 24th, Skate Girls Tribe met up for a pre-Christmas meeting/party. People started coming in at 11:30 AM. As  we waited for the other people to arrive, we colored in printed out drawings.

Skate Girls Tribe XMas party

Once everyone came, we moved on to the main project, warrior armor. We got inspired by modern-day “warriors”, like Katniss from the Hunger Games. Some people made turtle shells, others made crowns and jewelry.

Later, we ordered pizza and had lunch.

We invented new game and called it "Tangerines on strings"

Afterward, we played a game in which we had to eat one clementine that was hanging on a string. (without using our hands) The victors were given the advantage of picking their presents first in the gift exchange.

Gift exchange

After the gift exchange, we all went outside to longboard. Some girls already knew how to longboard and some did it for the first time. We helped and supported each other. The party was a great success, and everyone had a lot of fun.

Thank you to everyone who came, thank you to Zoe who helped to organize the party, and thank you for the wonderful gifts. You all rock!

What is Skate Girls Tribe to Me?

Skate Girls Tribe

What is Skate Girls Tribe to me? Skate Girls Tribe is a group of people of all ages and genders, from different backgrounds with different skill levels that come together to spread love and peace through action sports and art. Our goal is to empower people and make them feel part of a community. The Tribe was created by street and action sportswear company, sPACYcLOUd, with philanthropic objectives. Our goal is to empower young women to become confident and independent, to simply have fun and lift each other up. Although the Tribe was created with girls and women in mind because we are so often underrepresented, the Tribe excludes no one, regardless of age, gender, and skill level. We want to share our love for skateboarding, longboarding, archery, art, and many other activities with the community and bring people together.

Skate Girls Tribe

Since being a member of the Tribe, I have had the opportunity to participate in philanthropic activities that benefit children in third world countries by donating my artwork and my time. The proceeds from these events have gone to Skatistan, an organization in Afghanistan that brings skateboarding, as well as healthcare and education to impoverished children. It is an honor to be a part of the Tribe and know that I can make a difference. My daughters have both gained confidence and shared many smiles and laughs at Skate Girls Tribe events. I have shared these smiles as well. Would you like to join us in laughter and love? All you need to be a member is an open heart and an open mind.
