The CARVING IT OUT Podcast with hosts (and skateboarders) Heather Jennier and Paula MacDonald, is relatively new on the scene but has already made an impact on women’s skateboarding. While most skate podcasts are hosted by men in the industry, Heather and Paula strive to break that mold and have created a podcast that highlights women from all areas of the industry. They are also known for doing their homework on their guests, so you feel like it’s a really great free flowing convo between friends. We hope you will give this episode a listen and follow Carving it Out on Apple, Spotify YouTube, and Instagram!
“Cindy Whitehead is more than a pro skateboarder, and that’s just how she likes it. This legend is an activist, skate historian and founder of the nonprofit ‘Girl Is Not a 4-Letter Word’. In this chat with Cindy, we explore her deep connection to skate history through her involvement with Hermosa Beach Museum and the Smithsonian, and how she values activism in skate culture. Cindy also shares insights on the influence of her family on her confidence, the evolution of skate sponsorships, and the balance between competition and personal expression for young skaters. This discussion highlights the evolution of women’s roles in skateboarding since its early days and the importance of visibility and support for the next generation of girl skaters.”
