True Life: I'm A Roller Skater
Yes. I am on of the hundreds, maybe thousands of people who started skating during the pandemic. But I've been admiring roller skaters since childhood. There's just something so very smooth and magical about dancing on eight wheels, defying gravity! This just happened to be my time and chance to join in on the fun.

The fire was lit in me to skate again about a year ago, when I started seeing skate videos on Instagram's explore page. Good skaters make skating look easy and make anyone watching them feel that fun free-spirited feeling. Knowing I would be returning home, I made a list of things I wanted to do/learn once I got back. Roller Skating was number two. I'll talk about number one later.
Soon after, I found a Black Woman owned roller skate company, Moonlight Roller. At the time skates were only being released one by one and I had my eyes on a few pair. Even though I set reminders on my phone, I was always too late to secure skates in my size. Thankfully at the end of April, Moonlight Roller announced that their site would be fully stocked from then on! The next day I was able to purchase Moonboots in my size!
I got...The Prowler!
