Laurel Hanson has been a writer/editor for nearly 6 years. After getting laid off from her last job (like the rest of the country) she decided to do something fearless: she tried out and became a Sacred City Derby Girl. She already has all the experience she needs to be a competent writer/researcher/reporter and she has something a little extra special: an ‘inside track’ on what it’s like to be a derby girl, where those girls come from, where those girls will be, and what they’ll be doing. She can give you the news before anyone else can because she hears it (while dripping with sweat) from the coaches’ mouth during late night practice at the secret location. More than just a sport, derby is an outlet for women (and a few select male referees and coaches) who have been minimized and is a conduit for finding inner confidence and satisfaction. It’s an underground world full of intrigue, blood lust (figuratively speaking), and competition in the name of team building and community.
