In the serene quiet of the wilderness, a 30-year-old Black woman sits comfortably at the rear of her van, her eyes tracing the rugged silhouettes of the Olympic mountains under a starlit sky. The air is infused with the subtle orchestra of forest sounds, blending tranquility with a hint of the unknown. She pokes the dying embers of her campfire, feeling the chill of a wind that stirs something deep within—a mix of awe and anticipation. Alone in this vast landscape, she contemplates her journey and takes a moment to inventory her supplies and ponder her path forward. What discoveries lie ahead? What challenges will she face? In this moment of solitude, she's enveloped by a sense of peaceful determination, ready for whatever the road might bring.
