Walking Can Change the World: Amanda Jameson

from She Explores · host Gale Straub

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.Featured in this episode: Amanda JamesonHosted & Produced by Gale StraubA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by BetterHelp & Ikon PassJoin the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesAmanda Jameson: @BrownGirlontheNST & WebsiteAbout UK's Thames Path Read about Amanda's walk of the Colorado TrailRead about Amanda's walk of the Pacific Crest TrailRavel MediaSponsors and Discount CodesIkon Pass: Learn more about the Ikon Pass and Ikon Pass Session 4 Day for your 20/21 winter adventures here.Betterhelp: Get 10% off your first month at Betterhelp.com/exploreEpisodes air weekly on Wednesdays-- subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.Ad Music is by Swelling, & Lee Rosevere.Other music by Marie Hines, Josh Hoover, Eric Kinny, Utah via Music Bed.
