We Go Outside Too: Diversity in the Outdoors

“Everything just flows when we’re outdoors. It’s like magic. We’re more open. We’re free” - Marlon Patrice of We Go Outside Too, a group aimed at providing a safe space for underrepresented individuals to unplug from inner-city life and connect with nature while encouraging solidarity and unity within the Black community.

Thanks to Marlon for the opportunity to tell his story and to Phil Young for the insightful chat on the racialisation of space. As a white woman, I recognise this isn't my lived experience, so I hope I've done people of colour justice with this story. Learning and unlearning is a lifelong process.
