Marawa the Amazing is more than an international high-heeled roller skating icon, and her achievements are enough to make your head spin! She’s a circus school graduate, a 12x The Guinness Book of World Records holder, a showgirl, a designer, a writer, a teacher, a wife, a mother and more!
She took some time out of her busy schedule to chat, and imparted so much of her experience and inner world to us. Marawa’s world is dazzling, and she had us transfixed just the same whether she was talking about high flying circus stunts or the simple indulgence of a morning coffee at her neighborhood cafe. She is every bit as spectacular as she is humble, and the ways in which she tunes into the present moment twinkle with appreciation and a sense of wonder. We got a glimpse at Marawa’s pragmatic side as she shared wisdom about the importance of learning the basics to support a sustainable life of wheels, and how vital it is to pursue experience over image curation. In this interview she also shares how the stars aligned for her iconic collaborations with Impala! This interview is bursting with gems from this candid and unapologetic orator who wears her sequins as proudly as her bruises! Not to be missed.

This playlist is BOPS only, and makes it very apparent that Marawa knows how to LIVE! Late 70s disco & funk dominate this party-scape, and they'll certainly transport you to a roller disco on or off the rink. Think disco anthems from Sylvester, Donna Summer, and Odyssey to name a few. The 80s and 90s nostalgia is felt in this playlist as well with acts like Prince, Ghost Town DJs, Mariah Carey, Chaka Demus & Pliers, and Crystal Waters. The 2000s up till now are also thoughtfully represented here with Christina Milian, Kandi, Solange, Afro B. and others boost this dynamic assortment of RnB, Electronic(a), Afro-Pop, Afro Beats, Funk, Soul, Reggae,Synth Funk & the list goes on! Check out Marawa's PARADISE ROLLER DISCO playlist, it'll make you want to dance! :
