    The Great Outdoors belongs to us all. I'm training for the Shenandoahs now. ^_^

    This is so true! I love the outdoors; however, we as Black people in the US are always concerned about our safety and, not just how anyone would take safety measures when going out. We are concerned in a way that will prevent us from participating in outdoor activities if we don't have the numbers or if the area is too rural. This is the same fear Black people have when driving in certain areas while on a road trip or in the city; we also try to stay on the interstate and not take the "scenic route."

    I’ve have a group of hikers and we’re all black women!!! I hope no one ever stops ANY OF US to ask about hair or anything else that references our ethnicity that’s not ok! It’s completely out of pocket! Run ask Google!!!

    I’m just not sure how we unite when all we do is put light to seperation on EVERY SINGLE FACTION OF LIFE. Hikers are hikers. Get over yourselves. Really. I find it hard to believe people are pulling you over on a trail to check your gear and don’t even get me started about hikers asking about your hair? Lmfao. GTFOH. Let’s file that under “Things that NEVER happened”.
