Listen "Roll With Us: From the Only Girl to Only Skating with Girls"
Episode Synopsis
Marsha Howard grew up in the skateboarding mecca of San Francisco.
After getting her first board as a gift from a St. Anthony's Christmas donation program when she was 13 or 14, she's skated with friends in front of the Ferry Building and bombed down the windy roads of Twin Peaks.
She's also worked at Thrasher Magazine and been a skateboarding fashion model.
Nowadays she's a teacher and skates for exercise and mental health while using videos of her falling and getting back on her board to teach her elementary school students about perseverance.
This week, we talk to Marsha Howard about growing up skateboarding in this mecca and how she navigated the 'boys club' and assembled a circle of non-male skaters around herself.
