If you were to look at a list of Lizzie Armanto’s accomplishments, you would find it hard to believe that she is just now turning 30. But if you were to watch her skate you would know she has no problem keeping up with today’s rapidly-progressing youth. In fact, Lizzie has a lot to do with sparking the current progression in women’s skateboarding - she dominated the resurgence of park-style skating competitions winning the first X Games Women’s Skateboard Park and the first ever VPS “Van Doren Invitational.” She has more trophies than the amount of years she has spent on this planet, including winning 6 Exposures! Thank you, Lizzie, for all you have done and continue to do for skateboarding ! We hope you have the best birthday! ❤️

Enjoy this little throwback of Lizzie’s lemonade tutorial from 2014! 🍋

We are so proud of our CSEFxExposure 2022 scholarship recipients!

Vanessa is pursuing a Master’s in Social Work at Grand Valley State University in hopes of becoming a licensed clinical social worker in order to improve the future lived experiences within the social services space. At home in Chicago, they are already being an agent of change within their community as a medical benefits navigator for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC youth while also organizing skate meet ups.

Danielle is studying to become a doctor at University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine and aims to support women from marginalized groups overcome obstacles within the healthcare industry. Danielle has been a part of quite a few volunteer groups already, including VOICE, SCALE, and Brain Exercise while also supporting women and queer skate meetups through @auntskatie.

Both rippers received $5,000 each in scholarship funds to help them pursue their dreams of helping their own as well as underprivileged communities.

Di’orr Greenwood is a serious ripper and creative force from the northeastern Arizona region of Navajo Nation. When Di’Orr and her brother lost their woodworking tools in a fire, they used their artistic skills to draw on skateboard decks, then sold the boards to buy replacement tools!

Once they saw how much the youth in their community were interested in their handcrafted work, Di’Orr and her bother continued designing and creating boards. Shortly after, Woodburn Skateboards was born. Di’orr continues to make custom skateboard decks and longboards, sharing her pride and artwork with the world around her.

To purchase a board from Di’Orr, or to view her incredible gallery, don’t miss her link in bio.

Wise words from our friend David Everly, who was featured in Underexposed: A Women’s Skateboarding Documentary:

“To sum up what skateboarding has meant for me and continues to mean to me is an impossible feat. What I can say is, as an individual who experienced being born into a body that didn’t match my true gender, was labeled “different,” and punished for that by the world, skateboarding saved my life before I knew there were words for what I was experiencing by giving me a mode of expression that transcended words.

Like many other trans and gender non conforming individuals, I faced immense rejection by the majority of the people and communities I encountered. Skateboarding offered me a refuge where, for the first time in my life, I was accepted foremost as a skateboarder, regardless of my gender expression or lack thereof and through the tools it gave me, gradually built the confidence to face the world beyond it.

Because skateboarding is so beautifully individual - as all skaters know - there was no longer any “right” or “wrong” way express myself. This alone was the most liberating thing I had ever experienced and taught me a completely different way to view life and my place in it.

Through the individual art form that is skateboarding, I expressed everything I was experiencing and my ability to do this without judgment or shame was imperative to seeing my way through the minefield that being a trans youth can be.

Today, we live in a world that is much more trans-aware than it used to be, but unfortunately there are still many people and communities who hold deeply ignorant and incorrect beliefs about trans individuals. Hatred continues to contribute to the dangers we still face in the process of coming out and transitioning. This is why our place in the skateboarding community is so important, and why skateboarding has been given a very unique opportunity.” (More in caption)
