Erivo offered creative input on a line of digital roller skates for Adobe's 'Stories on Skates,' a project that celebrates the beloved past time while also highlighting its place in Black culture.
Why did you partner up with Adobe on these digital skates?
Being able to express that using technology was really exciting, and no one had ever asked me to do anything like that before. I was able to come on as a creative director and share my ideas and help influence how things looked. Forgive me for making this more like medicine than sugar, but to have been asked as a Black woman to come on board and help shape the way we see Black culture and shape the way we look at our lives, that felt really good to be included in that way.
Roller skating is one of those activities that is so reflective of Black joy. What brings you joy today?
