Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen's professional rider Beatrice Domond has always done things her own way.
From the streets to gnarly video parts, she’s carved out a style that’s unmistakably hers.
As one of the few Black women in professional skateboarding, she’s been breaking through and making her presence known, all while staying true to what she loves.
Recently, Domond was featured in Hypebae’s Black History Month spotlight, celebrating Black creatives and athletes making space for themselves and their communities.
She shared a message that speaks volumes: "I hope kids can look at me and say, ‘I can do it too and do it.’ That’s all I hope for! Because they can! With faith, stillness, and perseverance, they can."
Her words hit home for so many young skaters who might not always see themselves represented.
Skateboarding has long been a space dominated by certain images, but Domond is proof that you don’t have to fit a mold to make an impact. She’s out there showing kids that skill, dedication, and love for skating are what really matter.
Domond’s approach to skating is just as refreshing as her attitude. Whether she’s rolling with the homies in the streets of New York or dropping clips with FA World Entertainment, her presence is undeniable.
And she’s not just skating for herself. She’s making sure the next generation knows they can step up and take their place too.
Representation in skateboarding has come a long way, but there’s still room to grow. Seeing someone like Domond not just exist but thrive in the scene sends a message that goes beyond words.
She’s proof that with patience and perseverance, anyone with a love for skating can carve out their own lane.
With brands backing her and a growing fanbase inspired by her every move, Domond continues to make an impact, whether she’s dropping new parts or just cruising through the city.
And as more kids see her out there doing her thing, one thing’s for sure - they’re going to start believing they can do it too.
