Hike it Baby | Wisconsin Life
Madison author and social media influencer Dineo Dowd (Author-Dineo Dowd) grew up in South Africa under Apartheid-era policies.
“My background growing up in South Africa, it was different as a Black person,” Dowd said. “We were not allowed to go to national parks or resorts, anything like that.”
Eventually her family relocated to Wisconsin and she now travels the state with her husband and their daughter exploring Wisconsin’s lakes, parks and trails. Dowd shares their trips on social media, helping other families plan their own expeditions.
Her goal is to promote diversity and encourage everyone to get outside. For instance, Dowd had a hard time finding nature stories to share with her daughter, so she created her own and now has written a series of outdoors-themed children’s books.
Dowd was featured during our 10th TV season of Wisconsin Life. Watch the full episode here: https://wisconsinlife.org/
