CLIMBING FOR A CAUSE
The Road to Kilimanjaro Docuseries
The Road to Kilimanjaro is a docuseries that showcases

Alicia D’s journey to climbing the tallest single peak in the world - Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2019, Alicia D. turned 50 years old. It was also the same time, her former husband of 27 years walked out on her and their girls. She admits, those were the scariest times of her life. With no reliable job and limited options, she moved out of her house no longer being able to afford it. Rather than let her circumstances paralyze her, she began looking for new avenues of joy- placing less value on relationship status or material things, and more value on experiences, wellness, and generosity.

Alicia D decided to climb Kilimanjaro last summer during the peak of the pandemic when marginalized residents in her community were suffering the most - with limited food and makeshift tents as shelter. In an effort to help, she began going to Tent City. She says, “I will never forget the first night there. It was December 23rd. My friend, Sobriyia and I cooked 100 meals and we went to distribute it. No sooner we arrived, I was startled by a lady who ran up to me and asked if I could help a mother and her two toddlers. The mother was extremely scared and cried the entire time - she was desperate and had nowhere to go. I immediately started soliciting help from my friends and donations poured in. That night this mother had about 10 complete strangers come together to help her. We secured her a hotel that night because it was too dangerous to stay in Tent City. I mean, this is a place where just a few months prior, a man was murdered. We also witnessed the burning of tents.” Ultimately, the mom and her two little girls were able to have a good Christmas. Alicia D and the others continued to help her. Together, they raised about $10k which included a car that was donated. It opened Alicia’s eyes to the problems facing women and girls. The more she engaged with them, the more she saw herself and her struggles as a new single mom. It made her realize that she could make a difference. “

When I got serious about my training to climb Kilimanjaro, I also got serious about raising my voice. I saw documenting my climbing journey as a chance to raise awareness for women and girls facing homelessness. We are all drawn to big, daring feats. We love a story of overcoming and triumph. When people tune in, I want to shift their focus off of just me and give them an opportunity to sow a seed that leads to another women’s victory. The goal is to build a Tiny Home Community. I am looking for people to make donations in order to start phase one; creating the docuseries and securing the land. As my audience grows, so does my ability to advocate to more people.”
