Take a ride with Skate Gal, Ghana's first all-girls skate crew.
Up next: a weekly meet-up, plus larger events similar in style to the launch, which will take place every two months or so. At some point, Alibo hopes to invite a few famous female skateboarders from the U.S. and U.K. to lead workshops, but most pressing is the group’sfor the creation of Accra’s first true skate park, which Alibo has wanted to build for years.
“I know this could all grow with a real skate park,” she said. “We don’t have the best streets to skate on here in Accra like you do in the States. We need this.” There may be a few structural kinks to work out, but the spirit is already there. “I’ve never seen so many women excited about skating before,” she added. “We just want to give women a safe space to come and be courageous.”
