As a climbing athlete and a guide for She Moves Mountains, Maiza Lima is an established member of the climbing community whose story resonates with everyone she crosses paths with. Rock climbing became her ideal escape when navigating the hardships that come along with moving from Brazil to the US at seventeen years old.
Nils and Maiza navigate challenging topics ranging from the expectations of the outdoor identity to the importance of investing in others. Maiza carries an authentic, determined spirit that she exemplifies in her passion for cultivating new beginnings—even if that means building a cabin from scratch on a Kentucky hillside.
