For the April 10th edition of For the Record, I spoke with Alyssa Laube who is one of the founders and directors of Vancouver's first Glitter Ball Festival. Her business partner is Mady Cormier and they also manage Cushy Entertainment.    

Glitter Ball is a local music festival which will focus on shining a spotlight on diverse musicians within the city.  
 
The festival will take place on May 4th and 5th. The headliners will be Day one will showcase local R&B, hip hop, and rap acts. Day two will showcase local rock, punk, and indie music. 
 
The proceeds from Glitter Ball will, in part, go to WISH Centre Drop-In Society, a non-profit based in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside which provides safe spaces and resources for female-identifying sex workers.

For the April 11th edition of For the Record, I spoke with Suki Chhoeun who is one of the event coordinators at Skate Goats.  
 
Suki and her colleagues host an all-female skateboarding night aiming to connect female skateboarders in Vancouver, BC and beyond.   

Vancouver is known to have a rich skateboard scene and women have recently begun filling the streets, local skate-parks, and ramps all over the city.  
 
We spoke about the first time she picked up a board and how the skate community is a close-knit community that is always there to pick you up when you fall.
