Outdoor Retailer - Summer 2020 - 38

ON BLACK JOY
OFTEN BLACK VOICES IN THE OUTDOOR
industry are called upon to talk about JEDI
(justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) initiatives-and little else. What many fail to remember is that most adventurers come to this
space not to make a statement, but because
they genuinely enjoy the outdoors. Here are
five Black explorers living in different parts
of the country giving you their perspectives
on how they see themselves, what they love
about the environments in which they recreate, and the dreams they have for themselves
and this industry.

"I'm outside and I don't care who's around
because this land is for everyone."
My role in the outdoors is one of acceptance
and enjoyment. I don't go outside to take
Instagram-worthy pictures; I go to enjoy the
expansive nature that makes me smile and
sweat at the same time.
I'm a nomad, and where I recreate changes
a lot. I'm from Kansas, but I live in the South. I
love driving to the beach 12 minutes from my
apartment, but I also relate to visiting home
in Wichita, Kansas, and seeing an expanse of
open land. I've lived in Las Vegas too, and the
dramatic rocky landscape that surrounds the
city is so untouched by tourists. I volunteered
and camped and soaked up these lands when
I lived out West. I love experiencing the outdoors in every state and country I visit.
I'm outside because that is my choice. I'm
outside because I want to connect with the
land I am on. I'm outside and I don't care who's
