This is GRLSWIRL (Girl Swirl), a sisterhood turned full-fledged organization that rallies women to help communities in need. Founder Lucy Osinski wanted a fun way to get women on wheels to unleash their inner badass. Soon enough, she had successfully recruited dozens of women who were gliding the streets of Venice Beach. Scared that her organization would get caught up in the influencer craze, she steered the group to focus on philanthropy and ways to better their local community through charity work and mentorship. GRLSWIRL has proudly given wheels to women helping women. So far, thousands of dollars has been raised for local charities, mission trips to communities in need organized, and kids and women of all ages have taken up the sport of skateboarding.
