Nicole Boyd remembers the first time she invited her friend and fellow Chesterfield County teacher Nashara Tucker on a hike. It was to celebrate Boyd’s 42nd birthday.
“I was like, oh, let's do a hike and wine. That would be great,” Boyd said. “I'm an adventurer, and I'm an explorer. So I will find places that maybe I haven't gone before or by word of mouth.”
