Derby Heroes: Suzy Hotrod (Gotham Girls Roller Derby), I want to be able to move my feet and float through a pack like her; Ms. Anthrope the Mordant (Carolina Rollergirls), I want to have the radar in my butt like she does and positionally block like no one’s business.
Best thing about being an Atlanta Rollergirl: This league is my family. As a transfer, they made me feel welcome and at home instantly. I have built friendships that I know will last even after my body won’t let me skate anymore.
