Opening the Heart at Three Miles per Hour | Michelle Markel | TEDxSkyforest

Public lands advocate Michelle Markel shares stories from hiking over 8,000 trail miles- including observations from a small-town local; "by the time y'all get here, you all stink the same." Superclassy, as she's known by many, invites us to look beyond stereotypes, particularly those regarding how we look and where we are from, to embrace our shared humanness - and our public lands. Michelle AKA SuperClassy launched supportpubliclands.com in 2017 to raise awareness of and advocate for our public lands. With more than 8,000 trail miles, she is poised to become the first female Pacific Islander to complete the Triple Crown of US hiking: the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide National Scenic Trails. Michelle is passionate about getting people into the backcountry, and dedicated to promoting diversity and equity in outdoor recreation. When she is not tackling a long trail, she can typically be found exploring and van-dwelling somewhere on our 850 million acres of public lands. You can follow her on her YouTube channel SuperClassyAdventures, but she’d rather you get outside and enjoy your own adventures on our public lands! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
