The crew — called Imilla Skate (imilla means “young girl” in the Aymara and Quechua languages) — want to pay homage to their heritage and call out the persecution that the Aymara and Quechua people, majority ethnic groups in Bolivia, have long faced. During Spanish colonial rule, land in Bolivia was taken from Indigenous people, leaving them impoverished and marginalized. Over the years, many women in these groups abandoned their cultural costumes to avoid discrimination.

“By skating in polleras, we want to show that girls and women can do anything, no matter how you look or how people see you,” says Daniela Santiváñez, who founded ImillaSkate with two friends in 2019. “The message is to be yourself and be proud of who you are.”
Skateboarding is a big part of that. “It teaches you confidence, self-love, to get up from falls — and to be authentic, too,” she adds.

La corillo, llamada Imilla Skate (imilla significa “niña” en los idiomas aymara y quechua), quiere rendir homenaje a su herencia y denunciar la persecución que los pueblos aymara y quechua, grupos étnicos mayoritarios en Bolivia, han enfrentado durante mucho tiempo. Durante el dominio colonial español, las tierras en Bolivia fueron arrebatadas a los pueblos indígenas, dejándolos empobrecidos y marginados. Con el paso de los años, muchas mujeres de estos grupos abandonaron sus costumbres culturales para evitar la discriminación.

“Al patinar en polleras queremos demostrar que las niñas y las mujeres pueden hacer cualquier cosa, sin importar cómo te veas o cómo te vea la gente”, dice Daniela Santiváñez, quien fundó Imilla Skate con dos amigas en 2019. “El mensaje es ser uno mismo y siéntete orgulloso de quién eres”. El skate es una gran parte de eso. “Te enseña confianza, amor propio, a levantarte de las caídas y también a ser auténtico”,.
