platform was a dream, but I also knew there were tons of photos that hit a little deeper and evoked emotion that I felt people needed to see,” Flo tells. “As a former figure skater, a big part of the sport for me was the emotion that went into it all; it’s something a skater and the audience feel. So when capturing the girls of the program it was not a surprise that those feelings flooded back to me.
Fostering the dialogue around representation and lack of acceptance concerning the Black ice princess as a narrative, Flo explains that “we need to continue [these] conversations in ways that we may relate to it and bring to the forefront new angles and perspectives.” Especially with image politics at play for Black women in sports.
And although the scoring system has changed to be more impartial, “there are [still] new forms of bias that are manifesting themselves in the system,” former figure skater Chloe Katz tell“Society remains uneasy with female strength of any stripe and still prefers and champions delicate damsels — an outdated sentiment that limits all women.
