Skateboarding career[edit]

Growing up in Riverside, California, Brevard started skating at the age of 13, spending time with brothers and cousins who skated.[4]

In 2011, Brevard took first in the Supergirl Am Jam 2011 in Venice Beach, CA.[5] This performance earned her a place on the Hoopla Skateboards team.[5] In 2013, Brevard placed 4th at the X Games in Los Angeles.[5] In 2014, she placed 10th at the X Games Austin.[5] Also in 2014, Brevard became the first African-American female skateboarder to win the Kimberly Diamond Cup Women's Street Championship in South Africa.[5]

In 2015, Brevard placed in the top ten in the Women's Super Crown Championship at the Nike SB Street League Series Skateboarding.[6] Brevard placed 5th at the X Games 2016.[7] In 2016, Brevard, alongside Leo Baker and Nora Vasconcellos, were the mystery guests on Thrasher's King of the Road Season 2.[8] In March 2017, Brevard and fellow skater Savannah Headden appeared in the music video for "Name For You", a song from The Shins album Heartworms, as they skate around in Southern California.[9]

In July 2017, Brevard place 2nd at the X Games Minneapolis 2017 in the Women's Skateboard Street contest.[10] In her last run, Brevard executed a Tre Flip down an eight-stair drop.[2] Not long after her silver medal, Enjoi promoted Brevard to pro.[2] Also in 2017, Brevard released a video part in Don't Quit Your Day Job – directed by Erik Sandoval and Monique O’Toole, the first all-female skate film in the US in over a decade, released by Transworld Skateboarding.[11]

In 2018, Brevard released a video part in the Etnies skate video 'ALBUM.'[12]
