We teamed up with Skate Gal Ghana and photographer Mark Rabadan for a shoot with Collection Issue.
"At the Skate Gal Club meet-ups, sisterhood reigns. Sometimes coming from hours away to be there, the girls don’t always know each other, but they bond over a mutual interest in skating, and the shared experience of growing up female in a patriarchal society. They cook and talk for hours, and play music too, dancing and singing together. “It’s like a big woman party,” Alongside skateboarding, the club offers them a chance to do activities like yoga and poetry writing too, and each time they meet, a different theme is chosen." - Collection Issue
