Hello, I’m Jen. I am a biracial POC. I have always been one to put myself in places where, people such as myself, were not typically represented. Being a womxn AND a POC has its setbacks at times, but I always find myself saying, “fuck it, let’s just do it”. I’m continually trying my best to be a great representation of POC in the outdoor community. It is a community that has a strong white CIS male presence. I do not like when I am told or I feel like I cannot do something, simply because of my gender or the color of my skin. I like to smash the patriarchy and the privilege. I want to be a walking inspiration to those who may question whether or not they should do something. If he/she/they can do it, so can I. Do not let social norms or social constructions define who you are and what you do. Live your best life. Want to learn how to ride a motorcycle, do it. Want to learn how to kayak, do it. Want to learn how to climb, do it. I will be there cheering you on every step of the way, and helping any way that I can. I have spent my life in this weird biracial zone. I’ve felt judged from black folks, white folks, and folks in between. I’ve learned that there is only one me, and I’m going to be the best me that I can be. I am going to be fierce. I am going to be badass. And I am going to LIVE my life as I wish to live it. I will acknowledge my privilege, while acknowledging my lack of privilege. I will advocate for equality for the LGBTQ+, and for the POC. I will support and be a person to confide in. My home will always be welcome. My ears will always be listening and my voice will always be heard. I am here, and I am Jen. 🖤 . . . #poc #blacklivesmatter #peopleofcolor #browngirlsoutdoors #melaninbasecamp #colorthecrag #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors #optoutside #smashthepatriarchy #biracialandproud #biracial #environmentalistsforblacklivesmatter #greengirlgang #outdoorequality #equality #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenunite #womxn #lgbtq #loveislove #beheard #listenandlearn https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOA9sMnTtE/?igshid=11evzriws6bl0

I actually enjoyed sport climbing 😱 Spent a week at the Red to celebrate a bunch of May birthdays! Got to get on some classic routes and spend quality time with some great friends, can’t wait to get back on a couple of projects this being one of them.
