Give A Smile, Get A Smile: Zwena Gray
This month we feature the inspiring story of Detroiter Zwena Gray. Zwena is a twenty year old student at Trent University in Ontario where she is pursuing a major in environmental studies and science and a minor in gender and social justice studies.
This summer, Ms. Gray will merge these two passions by spending six weeks hiking 559 miles of the Bruce Trail - tracing the footsteps of women who followed the trail more than a century ago toward the last stop on the Underground Railroad. Gray says she "wants her trek to showcase Black Joy and inspire Black, Indigenous, and people of color to get out into nature".
