ALT Image shows Team GB Junior Roller Derby logo at top right. At bottom left is a photo of a Team GB roller derby jammer facing a Team Australia wall. At the right, text reads Tryouts - Save the dates - 2nd October Newcastle, 16th October Stamford
Was great to be part of the Design Team that worked with James Nash Comix to create the logo for Birmingham Roller Derby.
Really chuffed with what we've produced. I love the logo's unique style and think it's gonna look shit hot on merch! 😎

It’s the end of October which means it’s my derbyversary, 15 years! And yes, I am including the last 18 months.
This derbyversary milestone has extra meaning. As at the same time the @blitzdames is starting to wind down, the league where I was the

I was there at the beginning and I’m there at the end.
Wherever and whoever I skate with in the future, I will always be a Dame. 💚❤️

I’m really proud to have been a part of this episode of @EuroDerby
Was great to have this opportunity to share my experiences of being a black woman within UK roller derby on this platform, but also to speak about the BLM movement from a UK perspective.

Check out my interview with Team Black Diaspora Roller Derby over on Instagram. ✊🏿
Sound my end is a bit crackly, but stick with it. You'll get some giggles, some serious shizz, but most importantly, some lessons in geography! 😏😂

Should We Reset Roller Derby In 2020?!
The world is on lockdown & @WFTDA just announced that the 2020 season is essentially cancelled for the vast majority of us. So maybe this is the year we totally restructure everything, rankings, tournaments, the whole kit & caboodle? 1/5
How would we even start, as there’s so many WFTDA leagues across the world? I, most definitely do not have an answer! But, I know there’s plenty of derby mega brains out there who could figure it out! 4/5

And as some1 who really loves this sport, I think we should definitely use this opportunity 2 ask these questions & look at our structure closely.
