Kisha had the chance to chat with Melanin Base Camp about her non-traditional pathway to the #outdoors and how she is preparing to hike the #PNT as a #plussized Black woman living with #lupus: melaninbasecamp.com/trip-reports/2…

The #PNT training continues at Elk Creek, and pre-production has officially begun! Thanks to the OregonMade Creative Foundation and TravelOregon Outdoor Adventure Grant, we are able to make the #blackgirlinthewoods documentary actually happen. To donate and learn more, visit our website.

The documentary will follow Jarrett on her first-ever thru-hike, along the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, which connects the Continental Divide in western Montana to the Pacific coast on Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula. hubs.li/H0QSHnK0

The day we've been waiting, #training, and #prepping for is almost here. Kisha, Shawn, and Leslie leave for #GlacierNationalPark tomorrow, and their boots will hit the #PacificNorthwestTrail on 7/11. #blackgirlinthewoods 📸: Shawn Lee

Kisha and the #blackgirlinthewoods team have encountered our first pivot. Due to recent injuries on the trail, we have collectively decided to adjust our plans and postpone the hike to next summer. Luckily, we know that setback is often the best setup for a comeback. Stay tuned!
