This week on the show Kathryn and Kristi are joined by Jen Gurecki. Jen is the CEO of Coalition Snow, creator of Apres Delight, and the founder of Zawadisha, a non-profit that provides small loans to women in rural Kenya to help finance their livelihoods. A true entrepreneur and problem solver, Jen talks about her experiences in Kenya and what inspired her to create a micro-lending program for women in rural communities there. Jen is a self-proclaimed “accidental cyclist” whose first cycling trip was a 73-day trek from Kenya to South Africa. The trip inspired her love for two-wheeled adventures, and she has since taken many trips across the world. This summer, Jen will be leading an 11-day trip through Kenya that finished on the white sand beaches of Diani. The trip is a fundraiser for Zawadisha, and all proceeds go directly to their micro-lending program.To learn more about the trip go to: https://shopzawadisha.com/products/change-makers-cycling-trip?_pos=1&_sid=890f6a4f0&_ss=r&_kx=Kss1FIZVfGzEY82ArGeFyk9tJ_RfllEuPll15ufLQVpfO_Tb85aXJtxJ5DoaMdHq.Vu8xKz&variant=41101667631263 Follow Zawadisha on Instagram @zawadisha Follow Jen and all of her other projects on Instagram @yogureckiTo learn more about the Gone Graveling festival and register for the event go to: https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/festival **Support the Girls Gone Gravel Podcast**InsideTracker: get 25% off at insidetracker.com/feisty Ottolock: get 25% all products with code girlsgonegravel at https://ottodesignworks.com/shop/ottolock (US only)
