Favorite thing about playing roller derby: Roller derby really helped me accept myself. I’m a tall, strong, broad shoulders woman and I’ve hated it through out my life because I’m so different from how women are supposed to looked. Derby is the first time I’ve been able to embrace my size and not hate it. Also derby has put me around people who help me grow in a daily basis. The diverse backgrounds and aspect of self in the community help me achieve my desire to always learn and grown and accept others.
Best thing about being on the Wheels of Justice: I’m constantly challenged to think and create and problem solve.
Do you really like cats as much as it seems like you do?: Yes. I am a cat.
