Roller derby, the skating contact sport that is enjoying a global revival powered by women, prides itself on a quirky subculture — strange outfits, bawdy nicknames and players who wear makeup. In Egypt, they give it an archaeological twist. Novices are “mummies”; players of intermediate skill are known as “Cleopatras”; and those with 6 months training graduate to “Cairoller,” a full member of Egypt’s only roller derby club. The @cairollers, a mixture of students and professional women in their 20s and 30s, say #rollerderby helps unleash their frustrations and offer a sense of empowerment — sisterhood, even a little swagger. It’s also a way to purge the stresses of living in a megalopolis of 24 million people. “If you get hit, you absorb it and move it,” said Reem El Desouky, who goes by the moniker Lady Macdeath. “These are things you carry into your everyday life. It toughens you up a bit.” @lauraboushnak photographed Reem, 29, here. Swipe left to see more of her portraits of members of the #Cairollers.
