Walking Can Change the World: Amanda Jameson

Description:

Amanda Jameson has walked over 3500 miles since setting foot on the Colorado Trail in 2015. She documents her walks on her blog and handle, Brown Girl on the NST, or Brown Girl on the National Scenic Trail. Amanda’s writing is about more than simply sharing her thru-hikes as a Black, queer, woman  - it’s about taking an intersectional approach to thru-hiking, and in doing so, being one part of helping to continue shifting the demographics of those who walk on trail.

In this episode, we'll hear about how thru-hiking has helped Amanda help her come to know the most present version of herself, how the trail helps her let go of control, the parallels between long-distance walks and antiracism work, and more.
