froSkate exists to provide inclusive experiences, resources and equity for the BIPOC, non-traditional skateboarding community.
Black Womyn found and Queer led, we are Chicago’s first collective for the non-traditional skate community. Founded in 2019, we’ve hosted over 100 events (including our regular meet-ups), impacted over 1,000 skaters and donated over 100 skate supplies. The mission is global spreading "All Love No Hate" in everything at that we do. Our event season will begin in May 2023

“Yet, froSkate, the Chicago-based Black womyn-owned collective, has revolutionized a new breed of BIPOC skaters who are brave, confident, and ready to produce drastic changes that ripple far beyond the streets of Chi-town.
What started as a group chat of like-minded folks looking to skate morphed into something much more: a movement centered around femme, TQGNC, and BIPOC skaters to exist in.”
— Holly Alvarado, Trash Mag, 2021
“The Chicago based crew called froSkate is bringing inclusivity to the skating community.
The woman- and POC-centered skating group began with three friends hanging out and learning to fall with one another while laughing.
From there the organization expanded, bringing in women, trans, queer, gender non-conforming, and people of color to take over streets and skate parks with four wheels and a wooden board.”
— Sarah Baniak, ABC7 Localish, 2020
“It’s groups like froSkate that bridge the gap between the two as rare entities capable of creating access and communication to an industry that too often fails to represent a community sometimes powerless to reach them.
froSkate began as all great movements have–organically. And as skateboarding pridefully claims to be one of the most inclusive communities in the world, froSkate is a testament to the work underway to keep that statement true.”
— Zane Foley, Red Bull Skate, 2020
