In the back of her van, a 30-year-old black woman gazes at the stunning peaks of the Olympic mountains. A mix of awe and uncertainty envelops her as stars twinkle above and forest sounds fill the air. It's serene, yet she can't help but ponder the future of her journey. As she stirs the fire's embers, a sudden wind sends a shiver through her, realizing her solitude in the wilderness. With resolve, she begins to take stock of her supplies, plan her next steps, and reflect on the path leading here. What does she hope to uncover on this journey? What challenges might she face? Her mind drifts to these questions with anticipation.
