For Joslynn Peterson, her belief became a mission.

Through Bodyenroute, she turned her own experiences into a way to advocate, create representation, and help others feel seen and supported through movement.

Her story is a reminder that impact doesn’t have to start with thousands of people. Sometimes, it starts with one.

For BIPOC skaters, representation can mean stepping into a tournament and seeing people who share your experiences, not as the exception, but as the community.
