Today we’re joined by professional skateboarder Beatrice Domond – Vans team rider, Supreme skater, and one of the most fearless women on a board. We dive into her favorite movie The Prince of Egypt (1998) and use it to explore some powerful themes.

Beatrice shares how the film mirrors real-life lessons on:

Morals and values: Once you see the truth, you can’t unsee it – you have to act.

Standing firm: The cost of speaking out, protecting your people, and staying authentic.

Pressure and illusion: How others gaslight or devalue us, making us feel “less than.”

Loss and resilience: Navigating grief, injury, and coming back stronger after setbacks.

We also talk about Beatrice’s personal journey:

Growing up Haitian American and honoring her grandmother.

Breaking barriers as a Black woman in a male-dominated sport.

Overcoming a major knee injury, grief, and staying grounded through mindfulness.

The role of therapy, medication, and self-compassion in her career and life.

This conversation is full of honesty, laughs, and inspiration. Whether you’re into skateboarding, mental health, or just need a reminder to stand tall in who you are – this one’s for you.
