Introducing... Urmila PabaleUrmila Pabale is a rising star in the Mumbai skatescene. And our newest Citizen of Skateistan. Over to you, Urmila... “It’s not just about riding on a board, it’s about providing opportunities, creating a sense of belonging and empowering young minds.” At just 19, Urmila understands the importance of skateboarding for a young person and its ability to nurture creativity and community. Skateistan means land of skateboarding. It’s sort of imaginary, yes, but it’s also pretty real. By focusing on girls, young people with disabilities, as well as at-risk, LGBTQ+/BIPOC and migrant communities, we promote inclusivity, diversity, resilience and autonomy. Skateistan stretches across humanity, and anybody can be a citizen. All you’ve gotta do is dig what we’re about, and believe that everybody—regardless of spiritual beliefs, birth country, race, gender, sexual orientation, or push stance—is of equal worth. Thank you Urmila for your support. Become a Citizen of Skateistan today at skateistan.org We’ll be showing you all the great people that have got onboard until you do. 😉 #sports #educationforall #extremesports #skateboarding #womenempowerment
