Diversity & Inclusion in the Outdoors with Mardi Fuller E2T Adventures: Explore, Experience, Thrive
-
- Society & Culture
Mardi Fuller has hiked all 48 of the New Hampshire White Mountain 4000 footers, twice, once in three season (spring/summer/fall) and once in winter. But being a Black woman raised in New England, it hasn't always been an easy journey to simply get outside and experience her passions.
On this episode of the podcast, Mardi shares her experiences as a Black woman in the outdoors. She speaks to the historic invisibilization of Black people in outdoor recreation, breaks down the notion that Black people “just don’t do that,” and talks about finding community and getting into hiking.
To hear more of Mardi’s voice and her thoughts on connection with the outdoors, find her NRDC.org article, “A Place of Freedom and Belonging in the Great Outdoors,” here: https://www.nrdc.org/stories/place-freedom-and-belonging-great-outdoors?utm_source=in&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Nature
