ImillaSkate: The Cholita Skaters of Bolivia

In the mountains of Bolivia, a collective of Indigenous women challenge gender stereotypes through skateboarding — tearing down the notoriously steep streets wearing traditional pollera skirts. For them, skateboarding is more than a sport — it’s a statement of resilience and empowerment in a machismo society. As the collective gains visibility, they are working toward their biggest goal yet: building Bolivia's first skate park and community center designed for girls.
