I opened my computer fully intending to pen a few quick thoughts about the experience of being a female athlete. I had fancied it would be a missive focused on empowerment with a dash of Tina Fey style witticism.
For the first time in my life, I feel like I am a part of a community where I belong. Skateboarding gives me the feeling of extreme happiness when I complete a trick, but also humility when I fall.
