winona rioter #3

Year started skating: 2025

Role(s): BDB Skater

What inspired you to join? I was looking for community and a way to be active - I didn't know I'd be able to find both in such a fun, supportive, and challenging environment that also has deep values of equity and inclusion.

What song should play whenever you step onto the track/into the bout? Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill

How did you come up with your derby name? I support our right to riot as needed. I love Heathers and Girl, Interrupted. Free Winona, free them all!

Favorite pre- or post-derby snacks? My favorite post-derby practice routine is eating a chipotle burrito bowl.

What advice would you give someone who is considering joining a roller derby league? If you struggle with self-motivation for movement activities but also like a challenge, like to feel exhausted, and like to feel like a bada** in a community of other bada**es this is for you! Also, you really must be ok with bruises.
