Episode 05: BRUJAS

Top Rank Podcast

On Episode 5, co-hosts Isabel Flower and Marcel Rosa-Salas speak with members of BRUJAS, a New York City-based feminist organization who use skateboarding and community activism to foster radical social change. Brujas members ARIANNA GIL, ANTONIA PÉREZ, and REBECCA STURCKEN discuss the group’s representation in mainstream media, the labor involved in producing and sustaining their program, and the challenges of using social media to incite political resistance while considering the threat of surveillance. Sharing their influences and aspirations, the Brujas members talk though the possibilities of youth-led activism in the digital age. You can find Top Rank online @toprankmagazine.
