I met my dear friend, Crystal Gail “The Giver” Welcome, on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2022. Her organization, Footprints for Change, aims to bring visibility, access, funding, resources, and safety to Black, Indigenous, and people of color in the outdoors. I’m honored to help bring attention to her historic trek of the Florida Trail in 2023, as she will be the first Black person to complete the route she’s taking. You can learn more about the Footprints for Change movement, and follow her historic journey on instagram.
