Meet Danielle Wheeler. She joined the other babes of Nomadic Ant and will be in the shop most Sundays, so swing by and welcome her to the Ant! I asked Danielle to share a few things about herself with all of us, and here is what we learned.

She is a runner. She started a running club in NY that is still going strong! Danielle ran the perimeter of Manhattan; 34 Miles instead of 32 because she took a wrong turn in Inwood. Whooops! She promised me she could be my running coach here in Chicago, so keep your eyes out for a Nomadic Ant run club in the future. Can we get vegan tacos and bloody mary’s after we sweat coach?

She has a half blind lady cat named Taye Diggs that was rescued from the streets of Brooklyn. Awww…we love an animal rescue story!

Actor, artist, runner, vegan, Gryfindor, from Mississippi…come by the shop some Sunday and get to know the newest Ant!

P.S. She is helping to organize a strong girl gang for an event we have planned on April 14 – so stay tuned and get in touch with us if you are an artist, feminist, biologist, badass, vegan, baker, maker, shaker….we want you involved cuz it’s gonna be a good one! DIY event featuring any and all souls who want to share their passion projects in a safe space.
