Graham Reaper (she/her)
Tournament Organizing Co-Chair
Reaper was born and raised in Jackson, MS, loves Diet Coke, and in her day job works as the Operations Manager for the Mississippi Children's Museum. She's been in the hospitality and events industry for almost 20 years, and absolutely LOVES what she does.
In 2012, Reaper joined a little drunken adult kickball league, and the captain of the team was also the president of the local roller derby league, Capital City Roller Girls, now known as JXN Roller Derby. Typical story, girl meets derby; girl is hooked. Reaper skated for about 8 years; her skating career included dual rostering with Mississippi Brawlstars & Northshore Roller Derby, a brief stint with Denver Roller Derby's home team, the Green Barrettes, and captaining Team Mississippi for a trip to State Wars in Daytona Beach. After a car wreck, Reaper gave up playing, but took to bench coaching and derby event organizing to stay active in the sport she loves so much.
Reaper is excited for Y'Allstars to bring the derby community some great derby match-ups, a space for so many different skaters to participate, and a little something different and new when it comes to roller derby tournaments.
