Pronouns (she/her)
Since her interview, Erin has been an absolutely amazing contributor to Butter Mag. She's written several op-eds, and is always willing to be my guinea pig for my little experiments, such as this podcast episode! An extremely talented skier, Erin secured a new sponsorship this year from a little company you may have heard of, Mountain Hardware. Such a kind human being, it's been an honor to see Erin grow over the last few years. She's definitely secured a place in my heart, as my favorite "washed up ski racer". <3

Butter Bytes 010: Amelia Brodka - Changing the Narrative of Women's Skateboarding
Pronouns (she/her)
The last article from the first issue of Butter! To this day I am still so incredibly grateful for all of the amazing athletes that took the time to talk to me two years ago. I had no website for them to check, no credibility to fall back on. And we're here today because they all decided to give me and Butter a chance. I was particularly surprised Amelia was open to interviewing. She is still a very busy woman, running a whole non-profit that constantly works to make more space for everyone in the sport. She was an absolute pleasure to talk to, and I still feel so lucky for such an influential figure in women's skateboarding gifting me her time.
Pronouns (she/her)
Initially written in 2022, Boca Custom Designs is still going strong! Vanessa is still creating so many amazing unique swim designs that are cute and functional. Post article release, she was kind enough to send me a top and it is now my go-to surf suit! Though unfortunately it is usually hidden under a wetsuit. It's so comfortable though that from time to time I wear it as a sports bra. Such a kind human being, I 100% recommend checking out Vanessa's work.

Butter Bytes 008: Nekaia Sanders - Pushing Past Limits
Pronouns (she/her)
It is so crazy to see how much Nekaia has grown since this article was written. She's now 20 and still an amazingly strong climber, taking first at the 2023 Collegiate National Championships, and 4th in the Open Nationals. Still as open and honest as ever, I cannot wait to see what other wonderful things she does with her future.

This episode contains expletives that have not been censored.
Pronouns (she/her)
This is another one from the March 2022 issue of Butter Mag. Curvy Surfer Girl has grown even more since the initial launch of this article. One of Elizabeth's recent accomplishments was launching a swimsuit collaboration with JOLYN with sizes going up to 4x so surfer girls of every body type can feel cute cruising on their boards. Such an amazing hard worker, I am so grateful Elizabeth took the time to talk with me years ago :-)

This episode contains expletives.
Pronouns (she/they)
This is another one from the March 2022 issue of Butter Mag. As a little peak behind the curtain, Laura was one of my dream interview candidates. The film Jyosei was and still is one of my all-time favorite ski movies. So you can imagine my excitement when I reached out to Laura and Instagram and she said yes! I kid you not that I was rolling around on the carpet kicking my legs like a giddy school girl. Such an amazing interviewee and incredible artist, Laura's new movie In Your Dreams is out now! You should absolutely check it out on Youtube after listening to this episode.

Butter Bytes 005: AJ Waters - Stronger Stronger (Censored)
This episode has censored expletives.
Pronouns (he/they)
We're diving deep into the archive now! This episode of Butter Bytes features an article from the debut issue of Butter Mag in March of 2022. Though it was published less than two years ago, I feel like I wrote this in an entire different lifetime. It's been interesting (see painful) going back and seeing how my writing style has changed since starting Butter. I have definitely gotten much more concise. But it is still fun to see how I've grown as a writer!
As for the episode, we get to meet trans skater AJ Waters who's Portland based all together park, Stronger Skatepark, is an amazing example of creating inclusive space within the skate community. It was also through the power of that community that Stronger Skatepark was able to weather the storm of two closures during the shutdowns of 2020 and 2021.
I hope you enjoy this journey down memory lane and if you have a chance you should check out Stronger Skatepark and all the amazing work AJ does :-)

Today we embark on the extraordinary journey of Clara Soh (she/her), an adaptive climber who’s on a quest to destroy every stereotype.

Ryan Collins - People Like Us
In today’s story we hear from skier and director Ryan Collins (he/him), whose recently released film, People Like Us, digs deep into the dissonance between mountain culture and queer identity. A fissure that forces queer athletes to ask how much of themselves they’re willing to give up for the sport they love.
