The Citizens of Skateistan is our global community of students, staff, skaters and supporters who share the dream of empowering and educating children through skateboarding. We’re thrilled to announce that Zorah Olivia has recently joined the Citizens of Skateistan family. 

Zorah Olivia is a professional photographer based in Los Angeles, California. She is committed to telling the human stories of individuals around the world through her portrait and action sports photography. Zorah has carved her niche in the world of action sports by the ability to profile and photograph rad athletes. Peerspace just listed Zorah on the list of ‘8 Best Sports Photographers in Los Angeles’ and we’re so excited to see how she’ll continue along her path.

"I support Skateistan because they provide a safe and supportive environment for children and youth through skateboarding. When I discovered skateboarding as a child, it taught me perseverance, confidence, and unconditional love. Skateistan is so uniquely special and necessary for the world and future generations!" - Zorah Olivia

Recently, Zorah had the opportunity to travel to Cambodia to visit Skateistan in Phnom Penh and take photos of students at the Skate School. You can see how well the photos turned out below! 

We are so grateful for Zorah’s passion surrounding all things Skateistan, welcome to the Citizens of Skateistan family!
