The podcast explores the benefits of walking, including its impact on health, urban planning for walkable cities, the empowerment of community walks, and the journey of a 'planet walker'. Guests share insights on the importance of movement breaks, resilience post-stroke, and the deep connection formed through silent walking.

T. Morgan Dixon and Vanessa Garrison are the dynamic co-founders of GirlTrek, a health initiative aimed at improving the lives of Black women through walking and activism. They shine a light on the legacy of Septima Clark, the unsung hero of the civil rights movement, whose teachings inspire their mission. Topics include the revolutionary power of grassroots movements, personal journeys along the Underground Railroad, and the call for a million women to join their health revolution. Their passionate advocacy and resilience are contagious!
