OUR DIRECTOR
VALERIA KECHICHIAN
Co-Founder & Manager of Longboard Girls Crew.
Founder of Longboard Women United. Activist.
Since a young age, Valeria never fitted-in in most of the roles society expected from her and could not understand why she was treated differently than the boys.
Her passion and quest for equality started back then. She slowly began dismantling a system she no longer believed in, reassuring that our gender should not determine the things we’re exposed to, encouraged to or expect from.
Today, she’s a strong advocate for change; unlearning and rethinking everything while shaking the status quo. She travels the world attending events of our community, managing our non-profit projects and giving conferences worldwide. Change starts in us.
OUR CREW
This is us. Working for change, one community at a time.
