On a sunny Wednesday (May 10) at the Venice Beach skate plaza in Los Angeles, California, filmer Bianca Avanti experienced a serendipitous moment she hadn't planned for. A roller-skating enthusiast since childhood, Avanti decided to introduce her 2-year-old daughter Anyiah and 9-month-old Nasiah to the world of wheels.

"I have been rollerskating with Anyiah since she was three months old. This day was a testament of just that. I had just bought Anyiah some roller skates and thought this was the right opportunity for her to try them out," Avanti said.

Despite juggling the demands of motherhood and recovering from her second C-section, Avanti found time for her passion by integrating her children into her skating routine. "It takes me maybe about four hours to prepare the girls and head to the beach," she revealed. On this day, Avanti intended to gather content for an event she was promoting.

Her skate mate J Maxeus happened to be present and offered to film her. "We took a break, ate snacks, changed diapers and prepared babies' milk. Then I geared up Anyiah to skate for the first time," she said. Much to Avanti's delight, Anyiah enjoyed the experience so much that she wanted to skate unassisted.

As they were packing up to leave after over two hours, Maxeus handed over the footage he had captured. "He then said 'oh yeah, I got some footage of you skating with your babies.' I was thankful because I rarely get that kind of footage," said Avanti. "I wasn't even supposed to be there that day, and the most amazing thing happened by us just showing up."

I have been rollerskating with my 2 year old Anyiah since she was three months. I have been rollerskating at Venice beach since 2020 and I have been rollerskating in general since I can remember. Most of the time when I wanted to skate I had to take Anyiah with me being at the time my husband was working full time and we don’t have daycare. It was challenging trying to maneuver motherhood and my passion. I just gave birth to our second child in December 2022 who was 3 months premature.

I started back skating in February after I got the green light to exercise again. Now this time around it was even more challenging I had just had my second c-section and mentally I was done. But I knew I had to keep pushing. This day was a testament of just that. I had been rollerskating all that week and this was the one day I told my husband I wasn’t going to skate. I remember I needed to get some content for this event I was promoting and I knew I had to take the babies with me.

I had just bought Anyiah some roller skates and I figured this was the right opportunity for her to try them out. Nasiah our 9 month old who was 5 months at the time hadn’t been outside since coming out the hospital. It takes me maybe about four hours to prepare the girls, get them ready and head to the beach. I planned to grab the content I needed with my camera stand. My skate mate J Maxeus happened to be there and I asked him could he film me for a quick video.

Once we finished I began to roller skate while pushing the stroller wagon. We took a break,ate snacks, changed diapers and prepared babies milk. Then I geared up Anyiah to skate for the first time, she enjoyed so much that she wanted to do it by herself. We were there for about 2 and half hours and before we were getting ready leave J sent me the content he had shot for me. He then said “oh yea I got some footage of you skating with your babies.” I was thankful because I rarely get that kind of footage. Let alone did I think it would go viral. I wasn’t even suppose to be there that day and the most amazing thing happened by us just showing up.
