Hey 👋🏾, my name's Whitney and I am an Adventure Filmmaker and this is my story about Recapturing Life. What does that mean? It means taking hold of the pen and living your story.

I have always been fat. In this world you're told to stop being lazy and lose weight. Despite the fact that losing weight is not that simple. I am also a Black woman and in my family adventuring outside of the societal norms isn't easily understood. Luckily because of stories I started to see what was actually possible. A 400 lbs man walking the PCT, or a 300 lbs guy skateboarding and lifting himself in the air to do skateboard tricks. A 300 lbs woman doing multiple ultra marathons. And the stories of so many Black and Brown people experiencing life in the great outdoors. I realized that there is a place for me.

So I got on a bike and went on my own adventures. Sharing my thoughts, problems and experiences along the way.
