Artist/skateboarding pioneer, Jana Payne-Booker i Had a conversation

    • Visual Arts

Artist Jana Payne-Booker







Artist/skateboarding pioneer, Jana Payne-Booker first pioneered women’s skateboarding during the 1970’s. And later worked in the Disney Imagineering department as an artist. Jana’s podcast covers, skateboarding, identity, art and recovery.







In fact, we conducted an audio conversation about 7 or 8 years ago for skatopia.net. And today she informed me of the importance of that previous interview. In fact, during our previous conversation, she decided to publicly talk about the negative aspects of being a female skateboarder. Negative aspects that included being molested by her skateboarding coach. And the journey she endured to find her way out of that place.







Finally, this might sound like a heavy story. And when you hear this conversation you might agree that Artist/skateboarding pioneer, Jana Payne-Booker holds nothing back. But it is also a story of finding one’s self. I hope you enjoy the second conversation I have had with the great Jana Payne-Booker.







technical note







The first 2 minutes or so of this podcast contains some silence. So in plain English, the record button was on and our computers were syncing up. And why not edit the silence out? The videoconference system compresses the video and audio so I don’t want to re-compressing the content.
