Superfit Hero is proud to sponsor athletes doing important work to bring body acceptance and inclusivity to their communities. Superfit Hero is especially proud to sponsor Team Indigenous Rising Roller Derby and their commitment to bringing Indigenous visibility not only to the northern hemisphere, but also to the broader roller derby community and the general population.
"We are Team Indigenous. We are the First Nations and Indigenous people of our Ancestral Lands, linked globally through the sport of roller derby. We are Indigenous athletes, coaching staff, and volunteers. The mission and purpose of Team Indigenous Roller Derby is to unite the Indigenous roller derby community, representing the proud, once-borderless communities in our Ancestral Lands on these continents. Our Ancestral Homes are known by many names: Turtle Island, Abya Yala, Pachamama, Aotearoa, and thousands more. We are committed to strengthening the sport of flat track roller derby, the athletes who play it, and the Indigenous peoples throughout the world by representing the First Nations and Indigenous peoples in roller derby competitions in 2019."
