Two words come to mind after talking with Jillian Brown: strength and resilience. After experiencing trauma, Jillian found herself homeless, living in a tent in the woods and suffering from PTSD. But it was there in the forest that she found healing. She's now an adventure photographer and mental health advocate. Jillian has completed some insanely challenging expeditions, her biggest adventure being a cross country paddle trip from Oregon to Louisiana. Over the course of 200+ days, Jillian canoed, then kayaked across 16 states and 4 rivers, including a 420-mile portage with a broken foot over the Continental Divide. She hasn’t stopped there, as she continues to live a life of adventure floating rivers, climbing mountains, and photographing some incredible wildlife.
