And so, a fruitful collaboration was born that has spawned a Miu Miu ad campaign, and the hit Sundance drama, Skate Kitchen. (Side note: remember public transport?) Charmed by her colorful personality, and the skateboards the two were holding, the filmmaker approached them on the train platform. In 2016, they were discovered by documentarian Crystal Moselle one day on the G train, who noticed Moran recounting a story to Vinberg about a girl she made out with.
The group quickly launched to Internet fame after accumulating over 100k followers on Instagram, and they’ve been credited with inspiring legions of young women to pick up a board (this writer included, embarrassingly). According to Moran, (who, by the way, has done an actual Ted Talk) the group’s name is their way of reclaiming a phrase that’s been frequently hurled towards them: “go back to the kitchen”. Several members of the real-life skating sisterhood play fictitious versions of themselves in the series, including Rachelle Vinberg, Nina Moran, Dede Lovelace, Kabrina “Moonbear” Adams and Ajani Russell. The main cast is composed of members of the real NYC-based skate collective, The Skate Kitchen. Beyond that, the girls also discover crushes, tackle problems and embark on small-time adventures across New York. The title comes from the derogatory nickname sometimes thrown at them by men.
