Athlete and storyteller Dani Reyes-Acosta aims to inspire individual action and collective communion through self-care and self-determination found in the outdoors. After leaving cushy corporate life to find her way back to her roots, she ticked rock climbs and ski lines across Argentina, Chile, Canada, and the USA on a circuitous path to self-actualization.
Based in SW Colorado, Dani is Mexican, Filipina, and Mestiza—and proudly reclaiming the complexities of her heritage as a food producer, cultivator, and legacy Coloradan. Her goal as a mountain athlete is to find the limits of her possible, searching for peaks and valleys that tell the story of Mother Earth's most impacted places.
Dani has built her mountain craft through human powered adventure—namely splitboarding, traditional climbing, and mountain running—on trips through Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and the USA.
She credits her parents for the work ethic, mindset, and boundless energy that puts her here today.
Dani is a Spanish bilingual narrative strategist and public speaker exploring how heritage and adversity inform individual and community identity.
Offerings include film and creative direction, public speaking, strategic advising, and more.
Dani believes that we are as much of the Earth as we are on the earth, and dedicates both her work and volunteer time to social innovation, positive change, and a just transition.
