Sooooooooo, I’m excited to share that I’ll be participating in Scarpa’s first Athlete Mentorship Initiative!!! 🥳 Sometimes radical self love looks like reviving the dream to become an alpinist and climb big mountains. I want to hear more stories about badass women in the outdoors that aren’t centered around men. It was only a couple weeks ago that the first Mexican woman stood on top of this mountain (Ama Dablam). It’s a big day for little girls everywhere. Especially the sassy ones that don’t like being told they can’t do something— the ones that will cry a little bit then turn around and stick their tongue out in retaliation before they try anyway. @ice_journey30 I have a brown body but I am more than a person of color. “You know you’re challenging the status quo, right? It’s not going to be easy.”
