So excited to share my latest photo essay featuring 10 incredible BIPOC women and non-binary trailblazers who are making the outdoors more inclusive & accessible is published on @thenarwhalca !! Check it out! (On desktop if you can 💛)
“For me, reclaiming my participation in the outdoors is about putting down a stake and saying I have a right to be here, to live and thrive.” These BIPOC adventurers are transforming the sense of who belongs in the natural world. 📷 essay: @aliayportrait

In photos: Representation of the outdoors is overwhelmingly white and male. But if you know where to look, there are Black, Indigenous and racialized female-identifying and non-binary folks who are shaking up the narrative. Via @aliayportrait
