Meet the City Mill Skate team – Melanin Skate Gals & Pals

Marie Mayassi is the founder of Melanin Skate Gals & Pals, a grass roots initiative focused on building skate communities in east London and beyond that cater for the needs of those who are often excluded from sport activities such as marginalised genders, the LGBTQIA+ community, and Black and other People Of Colour.

Marie played a crucial role in our final design process for the Pool Street site, offering fresh perspectives on how best to create inclusive and dynamic skateable spaces.
