Nike SB, Transenders

Diane Russo Cheng

Curator Pictures

The story about Alexa's journey as a trans woman, navigating the toxic culture that encompasses skateboarding, and what it means to transcend fear through community. Presented by Nike SB and Skate Like A Girl

Originally from New Jersey, Diane Russo Cheng takes inspiration from her roots - combining the foundation of her loud Italian American upbringing and her queer identity to tell stories that pull out the raw emotion from her characters – from anger and frustration to joy and ambition – and to translate those emotions into visceral and stunning imagery.
