Yo Yo my name is Effie loud proud non-binary queer Afro Latina skater🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 residing in Sunshine State of Florida☀️☀️☀️. I use all the pronouns they/them/she.

I come from 9 years of roller derby skating but really been skating my whole life, believe or not inlines was my first set of skates back in high school. Loved doing hill bombs in my neighborhood. Because I was a mother at a younger age(18) skating was no longer a priority and or passion in my life. This time of my life, I had lost sight of my own interest and passions, prioritizing the family was the path at that moment. Thanks to joining roller derby it gave me something to live for again.

Now I play roller derby & park skate at a competitors level & for the passion!!! Playing for a roller derby team reignited my skating passion.
My passion for skating & inclusivity has led to to start up and build @eatmyskates. An inclusive skate posse for all minority types/groups (POC, indigenous, queer, all wheels types, and all lifestyles) this was a HUGH lack in the Orlando’s skating community. Being a part of GNDR SHREDR was important to me. I found a group of peers with the same fight: REPRESENTATION and DIVERSITY🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽. The queer community is what’s up because it’s the most diverse and literally have met awesome individuals who have change my perception on different things involving skating, culture and just all-around life.
