I am a 28 yr old Black biracial, queer, genderqueer, AuDHD, quad skater and parent of 2. I also study Political Science and practice various arts - from sewing & crocheting, to painting & print making, & more.
I grew up skating blades & quads off and on over the years, and cruiser boards for transportation as an adult. In researching to choose a pair of quads for my oldest kid's birthday in 2020, I was drawn to the idea of park Skating and got myself a pair too! I fell in love with park skating and since then have built 2 pairs of custom skates, and am looking forward to many more years on 8 wheels. 
C. Radical Compassion is my full name and where the "radical" in @RadicalRollerSkates comes from! Wherever my name reaches, Charlie wants to spread thoughtfulness - to inspire action - to perpetuate radical empathy and compassion towards ourselves, others individually, and societies systematically because capitalism conditions us in the opposite way overtly but more often subtly. 
As a skater, I started posting online to track my own progress, and quickly found a beautiful community. I hope to promote radical joy, but also showing up authentically for ourselves/each other in skating and whatever we do in life. This is something I’ve witnessed so much within the queer skate community and what I love about being a part of it! That's also why I wanted to be a part of the Gndr Shredr team - Alex created this brand and team *centering* the queer skate community and our beautiful authentic selves. 💞
