Hi! I'm Aunty

My name is Oorbee Roy, I'm a Toronto based designer, marketer, content creator, and skateboarder. Four years ago, at the age of 43, I was inspired to take up skateboarding when my kids started. I didn't want to be the mom sitting there watching my whole family having fun, so I got on a board, took a couple of lessons, and immediately fell in love!

In February of 2021, I started documenting my skateboarding journey on TikTok as Aunty Skates to spread joy and positivity. Within 4 months, I reached over 100k followers and was featured on NBC’s Today Show, Daily Blast Live, CBC, BlogTO, Toronto Star, and many others! By the end of the year, I received a TikTok verification with almost 150k followers.

For anyone that’s afraid it’s too late for them to try the thing they always wanted to do, I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to live your best life! You can do it, Aunty believes in you!
