Skateboarder and community activist Kava Vasquez is bringing her passion for unification to New York and beyond. Known for championing collective agency, Kava has spent the past decade focusing on how skateboarding can empower women, and marginalised people, around the world. Her work has taken her to India, Europe, Canada, and South Africa where she connected with Sassy Souls podcast host, Cyd Eva.
In the past year, while settling back in New York, Kava's desire to bring more people together led her to co-found 'Bronx Girls Skate' with her friend, Mel. Their initiative continues to enable hundreds of women and marginalised people to grow in confidence and find friendship through play. Having recently celebrated their first anniversary, we invited Kava onto the show to discuss her experience and philosophy behind community organisation.
