Mardi Fuller is an Outdoors Woman, fully and unapologetically. She is also a multi-sport athlete, outdoor educator, and outdoor leader. We had the opportunity to sit down with Mardi to discuss the White Mountain region of New Hampshire, the opportunity cost of being in the outdoors as a racialized person, the ridiculousness of ‘firsts’, ski bum culture, racial literacy, water safety in Black communities, and the importance of claiming it.
This show is available everywhere you get podcasts April 28, 2023.
