In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Violet, a trans woman, skater, and community leader who is deeply involved in creating safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals in skateboarding. She opens up about her journey, her transition, the challenges she has faced, and the incredible support she found within the queer community.
Violet shares how she went from struggling with housing insecurity to becoming a mentor and advocate, giving back to the same community that once lifted her up. We discuss resilience, identity, and the importance of representation in traditionally male-dominated spaces.
Her story is powerful, inspiring, and a true testament to the strength of community. Tune in for an episode filled with honesty, passion, and a reminder that we are never alone in our struggles.
