Sprinkling Seeds: Carrington Kernodle
09/02/20 • 40 min
Carrington Kernodle is a plant-lover and a plant-eater, sprinkling the seeds of what she's learned about growing a more sustainable lifestyle. She believes in spreading the most joy possible, all while causing the least amount of harm. She shares her knowledge on her blog, Parts Homegrown.
We talk about how vegan food powers her hiking, kayaking, and yoga practice, the impact our food choices have on the environment, and the significance of having the freedom to choose to be vegan as a Black woman in America, and more. We also get advice from Carrington about getting started with houseplants.

Walking Can Change the World: Amanda Jameson
Amanda Jameson has walked over 3500 miles since setting foot on the Colorado Trail in 2015. She documents her walks on her blog and handle, Brown Girl on the NST, or Brown Girl on the National Scenic Trail. Amanda’s writing is about more than simply sharing her thru-hikes as a Black, queer, woman - it’s about taking an intersectional approach to thru-hiking, and in doing so, being one part of helping to continue shifting the demographics of those who walk on trail.
In this episode, we'll hear about how thru-hiking has helped Amanda help her come to know the most present version of herself, how the trail helps her let go of control, the parallels between long-distance walks and antiracism work, and more.
