Episode 2.2 : Kianayouwanna

Skaterade

Kiana Maxwell, better known as Kianayouwanna is an undeniable powerhouse of the park skating world. The timeless classic Whip It pulled them into the world of derby, but they found themselves lured to park skating after watching the OG Moxi skate crew at the skate park.
They open up that after leaving Moxi, they’re looking to focus on building the local SD community that has made them the skater they are today. To this end, they’ve been keeping busy as the admin of CIB SD and organizing with SD Skate Fund.
As an artist, they are very passionate about the creative pursuits and businesses of roller skaters. In this interview, they explore themes in their art such as clowns, duality, and emotional states that all serve as outlets to explore their identity.
Mack and Kiana compare notes about their experiences as skaters with ADHD.
Kiana opens up about their drive to compete, and how representation motivates them to push the limits of their sport. They also open up about the confusion surround their non-binary division wins at Quad Cup 2022.
Whether they’re lighting up your feed with their sick lines, or teaching you to skate on Twitch Kiana keeps it kind and genuine. Please join us and to to know them a little better!
