'The more of us there are fighting for this, the more possibilities in the future there will be for folks like me, and people in the LGBTQ community.' laceybaker
talked with Baker about their experience shooting Cyrus's"Mother's Daughter" music video, their go-to skate music, experiences with gender identity in skateboarding and in the media, and the importance of queer representation in skateboarding.
It's definitely women's empowerment, queer empowerment, body positivity. It's overall a very inclusive vibe. There was a moment when I was on set, Miley came over to me and I said"thank you," like obviously"thank you so much for having me." And she was saying that she was happy that I was there. Just to watch all these people stand in their true selves and be able to foster that through that video was really powerful for her. I just felt really empowered and seen.
That's really cool to know. So writing"they/them" on the shirt was sort of a last minute idea of yours? Yeah, definitely. I mean, it's crazy because when I'm in skate industry spaces, people just assume she/her. And I don't think a lot of people are even aware of asking what someone's pronouns are. Because skateboarding is so mainstream, and it's so male-dominated, that I don't think those ideas even come out in those spaces unless a queer person brings them to the table there. I definitely prefer they/them over she/her.
