For these young women of color, ice skating helps fight discrimination (Figure Skating in Harlem story on ABC News' Nightline)

Post-Beychella, Beyoncé Is Empowering Young Female Figure Skaters in Harlem With Ivy Park: https://www.vogue.com/article/ivy-park-beyonce-figure-skating-in-harlem
Continuing her inspiring streak of philanthropy this week, Bey has gone one step further and will release a special video today on her sportswear label Ivy Park’s social media platforms. She hopes to bring visibility to and empower an organization called Figure Skating in Harlem, a local project founded by Sharon Cohen in 1997 to give young girls in the community a safe place to practice their sport.
