Working in groups, Afros in Nature (“AiN”) brings BIPOC back to our roots in the great outdoors. We are taking a pastime historically dominated by white culture and showing BIPOC how to take advantage of its benefits for themselves, for the betterment of their health and well-being, and for the improvement of our community as a whole. We are teaching BIPOC how to find healing and wholeness again in nature and one another.
