From Bookworm to Bone-crusher | My four-week crash course in bruises and feminism by Hannah Benitez
"Behind a cardboard divider in the back of a thrift store sat a handmade, dimly lit roller rink. As I slowly made my way to the makeshift arena, the quiet eeriness was punctured by the excited screams of teenage girls.
I heard delight in their yelling as they got ready for practice. As someone who has always had a fraught history with sports, it was exactly what I was looking for. "

You belong in all spaces, including roller derby. The treatment of Black Diaspora Roller Derby and Team Indigenous Rising at the recent Battle of the All Stars tournament was unacceptable. We encourage you to read their statements.
We all have a responsibility to do better to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community in roller derby. HRD will be investing in DEI/anti-racism training. We encourage other members of the roller derby community to do the same, and donate to these teams if able.
