Note: Although they still officially go by their original derby name, Arc began displaying their last name "Garcia" on their charter and all-star jerseys in 2019. Arc made this decision to more clearly represent their family heritage to spectators. The hope is that other people of color will see Arc's last name and feel pride, maybe even feel encouraged to join the roller derby community themselves.

DARING TO DREAM
DARING TO DREAM
A New York transplant to Ohio, Arc is a skating athlete who first fell in love with roller derby over a decade ago. As time wore on, they set their sights on playing in the Roller Derby World Cup (RDWC).
After playing at the "All-Stars" level for five years and submitting tryout videos, on 23 November 2024, Arc received the news that their dream was coming true. Rostered with the first all-Black team to compete in the Roller Derby World Cup, Arc will take the track with Black Diaspora Roller Derby for RDWC25 in Austria to make history!
