Half a decade ago, armed with the dream of creating a platform for women's skateboarding, I launched BIGFOOT Magazine. Quickly realizing the financial challenges ahead, I looked for solutions. Enter the Mercy Corps small business program, a lifeline that granted $5,000, allowing me to invest in printing equipment for creating our own magazine swag.
👕 Turning Deadstock into Declarations
To keep things sustainable as possible, we turned deadstock T-shirts into iconic BIGFOOT swag. This sparked the birth of Curb/Cut - a service for others too. Through this venture, we are curbing pollution by cutting traditional production methods, making sustainable practices accessible and stylish.
🌱 LOSH Sore Muscle Rub - Soothing Relief for Everyone
The journey doesn't end there. Collaborating with a friend in Washington State, we introduced LOSH - a CBD Sore Muscle Rub tailored for skateboarding enthusiasts. A remedy born out of love for the skateboarding community.
💚 Beyond Swag and Rubs: A Vision for Change
Why this store? Why these ventures? It's all about supporting a big dream - to nurture and champion women's skateboarding. Having experienced the challenges of a problematic skateboarding culture, I'm personally driven to help create a better, more inclusive one for the generations to come.
