Nurture Your Nature

“Black people don’t do the outdoors.”

Most of us have heard it. Some of us have said it. Few of us have asked where it came from.
Across the diaspora, land was taken from us, worked by us, and kept from us. The woods were where some ran to be free. They were also where some were hunted. So how did staying away become the lesson passed down?
Then we get personal. Who taught you whether the outdoors was for you. Whether anything changes in you after too long away from green space. And whether “reconnecting with nature” means going back to something that was ours, or buying a version someone else is selling.
Come root with us.
