Let's go for a walk!

I've sometimes imagined 3 Books as a long walk with a friend. So today—let's take one! Nickisha moved to Toronto from Jamaica when she was 16 to reunite with her mom and after working as a travel agent she broke out on her own to run a successful business full of fresh air, exercise, community, and lots of love.

I sometimes see Nickisha with five, six, or seven dogs around her—giving them the highlight of their day! Tongues wagging. Skip in their step. Motoring around town clocking 100km on foot each week!

One of our traditions on 3 Books is doing podcasts outside from Chapter 27 with Robin the Bartender on the open patio of Bar Raval in Toronto to Chapter 106 with Alok Vaid-Menon in Central Park in New York City to Chapter 131 with J. Drew Lanham while birdwatching in South Carolina...

Another tradition here is exploring stories from people who fill our lives but aren't often represented by our screen-based culture full of politicians and billionaires. We vote with our attention so it's fun turning off the same faces to hang with people like Vishwas the Uber Driver, Shirley the Nurse, and Soyoung the Variety Store Owner.

So strap on your running shoes! Throw in some headphones! And let's go for a walk with Nickisha to discuss urban density, pedestrian-driver relations, safe supply, the dog walking business, immigration assimilation, Danielle Steele, and, of course, Nickisha's 3 most formative books.

Let's flip the page to Chapter 147 now...
