Born in a squat house in Berkley, CA, Anna-Chist is the daughter of DIY squatter punks and has been living off the land and hating the man since she thrashed her way out of the womb. Born to a mother who used smack for an epidural, it was no surprise she grew up quick, hard, and fast. She found her first pair of skates dumpster diving behind a skating rink at age 6.

Spending her nights skating from basement show to basement show, at the age of 16 Anna decided to do what squatter punks do and hop a train. Instead of riding in a car, she grabbed a hold of the back of the train and put her skates to the tracks. After doing this across America for years, she finally ended up in Columbus where she set up squat behind Skate Zone 71.

Anna-Chist saw the Ohio Roller Girls going into practice every night and one night decided to sneak in. The OHRG were amazed by her skate skills and offered her a home and a place to smash other roller girls. Anna accepted, and she now spends her days kicking ass, taking names, and dumpster diving.

Hey, old habits die hard!
