    Ultra-Running, Immigration and Climate Activism with Vanessa Chavarriaga & Carolina Rubio MacWright

    Welcome to "The Caroline Gleich Show," where we dive deep into the worlds of adventure, activism, and the incredible stories of those pushing the boundaries in their fields. I'm your host, Caroline Gleich, and today, we have two phenomenal women who are not just making waves, but creating entire oceans of change. First up, we have Carolina Rubio MacWright—a true force of nature. Carolina is an artist, an immigration lawyer, an ultrarunner and coach, and a passionate climate-migrant activist. Her work weaves together the art of storytelling, the power of the law, and the spirit of endurance to fight for a more just and sustainable world. Whether she's in the courtroom, on the trails, or creating art, Carolina is always pushing for change and inspiring others to do the same. And joining us as well is Vanessa Chavarriaga, a proud Colombian immigrant and environmental sociologist with a deep connection to the mountains. As a mountain athlete, Vanessa brings her love for the outdoors and her commitment to environmental justice to every adventure she embarks on. Her unique perspective as a Latina in the outdoor industry and her research into the intersection of community, culture, and the environment make her a vital voice in the movement towards a more inclusive and sustainable future. I'm beyond excited to have Carolina and Vanessa here with us today to share their stories, insights, and passions. So, without further ado, let's dive into this conversation and explore the extraordinary journeys of these inspiring women.
