Love Shouldn’t Haunt You — Skate Jam!
This event is rooted in the belief that love should feel safe, empowering, and never haunting. Hosted by Tewa Women United (TWU), it’s designed to bring community members of all ages together in a vibrant, inclusive skate park setting—where we’ll lift up the theme “Love Shouldn’t Haunt You” through art, action, music, movement, and meaningful conversation.
Our goal is to create a powerful space where youth can explore healthy relationships, access supportive resources, and experience safe, joyful social connection. Throughout the event, we’ll weave in education about dating violence prevention and share tools that promote respect in all relationships.
–> 1:30 – 3 pm: Free Workshop for Youth (10 – 17) with Illastr8 — Learn to scratch like a DJ!
–> 3 – 6 pm: Main event, music by MydNyte — all ages and wheels welcome!
