My wedding last year was a huge wake up call for me. I realized if my mom and siblings couldn’t find it in themselves to be kind and supportive on that day of all days (or at the very least not completely self centered and horrible), that they never will.

There are different levels of derby. Some of my teammates train at this level, others do not.

I’m a proud member of the roller derby community and you are correct on all counts. The women I skate with are amazing.
