Cata Díaz left Chile at 18 with a three-month visa and never went back. She's been building a life city by city ever since — Barcelona, London, Los Angeles, Miami, and now New York. She talks about finding skateboarding through a skate shop job at 16, surviving cancer at 22, and what it took to get back on a board after chemotherapy.
