This episode of She Explores is brought to you by Deuter.

They've been making technical hiking, backpacking, snow sport, bike, and travel packs,

German engineered since 1898 for comfort, fit, and ventilation.

I've seen them on the trails as far from home as Patagonia

and as close as New Hampshire.

And speaking of German, stay tuned for later in the episode when a member from the Deuter team teaches

me a few phrases.

I'm Gail Strob and you're listening to She Explores

Hi Gail this is Cheryl Strade

Yes, that's Cheryl Strade saying hi

Hers isn't a voice I thought I'd have on this show and I'm really happy about it. It's all thanks to my friend.

So Gail, thank you so much for having me on your podcast and letting Anna talk to me at the Mountain Film Fest and Tell you Ride, Colorado.

Anna Bronas is why Cheryl is on She Explorers. She's an artist and a writer and when she knew her path was going to

cross Cheryl's at Telluride she asked me if you'd be okay if she reached out.

Anna's working on a series called The Women's Wisdom Project. She knew Cheryl will be a great fit, but she

wanted to take it a step further. Here's Anna describing the project.

So at the beginning of this year I decided to do this art project. I wanted to profile

inspiring and insightful women. So the idea was to do paper cut illustrations of a

portrait of a woman but within that portrait there would be a quote from

that woman. I've got to interrupt Anna here. If you haven't seen one of her paper cuts or you don't know what a paper cut is, it's like a drawing cut from one piece of paper that you can pick up with your hand.

Anna's are made of black paper and they're pretty intricate.
