President
YULA B HURTIN # 88
A true child of the 70's, from the moment she heard that there was another wave of roller derby coming she's been obsessed with the sport and could not wait to be involved. Like most of the area kids in the 70's, roller skating was a huge part of Yulanda's social life. As she grew a little older, she tried to hang on, buying a pair of roller blades and hitting the downtown streets to keep wheels on her feet.
Having been a writer/reporter for Beckley Noize column for Grafitti Magazine for over 15 years, as Yula, she was known for creating a buzz. As Yula B. Hurtin', the buzz is now BADD....Beckley Area Derby Dames!
Yula enjoys live music, river rafting, and above all, roller derby. Derby involvement began with Green Valley Roller Girls in February 2011 to include extensive practices and skill building. August 2011 began the creation of the Beckley Area Derby Dames team with new enthusiasm and dedication. Yulanda's participation in the December 2011 "Jingle Brawl" scrimmage boosted her excitement and team spirit for the development of BADD. As their President, she looks forward to "Getting her derby on."
