Source: NY Daily News,2011

You might remember Joy Bryant from the movies Antwone Fisher and  Get Rich or Die Tryin. Well this Bronx native is not only gracing the catwalk and movie screens but also getting her "shred on." Joy is now a contributor for Burton Women's lifestyle blog and a mentor for the Stoked Mentoring Program, which reaches out to inner city youth through action sports. Stoked teaches urban youth necessary skills for life, "goal-setting, overcoming obstacles, trust, communication, and respect," through snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing. 

Watch Joy talks about her experience as a Stoked mentor.

Though featured on the NBC sitcom "Parenthood," Joy finds time to  hit the slopes and advance her snowboarding skills. This season she hopes to do more tree runs and have more patience.

Kudos to Joy Bryant, being a model and actress did not stop her from pursing snowboarding. So what is holding you back from your board dreams? NOTHING!

Welcome to BLACK SKATER CHICK!

BLACK SKATER CHICK is a project designed to connect individuals to learning about women of African descent in skateboarding and extreme sports.

The combination of the words Black, Skater & Chick (female, girl…etc) are peculiar to the masses. Therefore, at BLACK SKATER CHICK we seek to increase knowledge and extinguish ignorance surrounding women of African descent in the skateboarding and overall action sports, through highlighting their achievements and lifestyle through interviews, daily news, music and art.

This is in no way created to cause division in the female action sports community. I am thankful for the ladies and organizations that inspired me to skateboard and become more involved in action sports: The Alliance, Villa Villa Cola, All Girls Skate Jam, TheSideProject, Girls Learn to Ride and Check it Out Magazine.

I hope to start interviewing some females in skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX and other extreme sports who are of African descent from all over the world. and as well as my other sisters of underrepresented communities. Plus, I would also like to feature some males of African descent in action sports.
