About Me.
Hi, I'm Marsha G. Harrison, founder of Trail Blazing Mom.
As a first-generation Haitian American, photographer, and wife with a public health background, I've always seen the world through people, places, and defining moments. My work, recognized by The Curated Fridge and a Randolph Cultural Council grant, captures raw beauty in life's contrasts and chaos.
Nature has always been my wellspring of renewal. This deep connection, profoundly amplified by the transformative journey of motherhood, joined me to an ancient sorority of resilience. From this personal evolution, Trail Blazing Mom emerged: a space for outdoor adventures.
On this website and through the walks I host, you'll find inspiration to:
- Explore: Discover peaceful, stroller-friendly trails across Boston, Metro South, and beyond.
- Connect: Engage with nature's wisdom and a supportive community of parents, caregivers, and nature lovers.
- Thrive Together Outdoors: Breathe deep, slow down, and flourish by embracing nature.
I continue to walk trails with my husband and friends, sharing laughter and deep conversations. My hope for Trail Blazing Mom is to inspire your own journey, empowering you to move forward and find joy. I invite you to blaze your own trail with me.
