Nature isn't one color or another, and I think that's like kind of an easy, it's like a knee-jerk reaction for people and it's kind of an easy path to go down.
Ever wondered what it takes to make the great outdoors truly inclusive? In this episode of Real Talk Radio, host Nicole Antoinette sits down with Danielle Williams, the trailblazing founder of Melanin Base Camp and co-founder of Team Blackstar Skydivers. Danielle, who is also a former trail runner and a disabled skydiver with over 600 jumps, opens up about her mission to diversify outdoor adventure sports.
She shares her personal journey navigating these often male-dominated spaces as a woman of color. From finding mentors to the power of storytelling, Danielle offers a wealth of insights and practical steps for creating more inclusive and accessible outdoor spaces. The conversation delves into the importance of community and the impact of challenging stereotypes about who belongs in nature.
Danielle's experiences highlight the resilience needed to break barriers and the joy that comes from seeing more diverse faces in outdoor settings. As Danielle poignantly notes, "Nature isn't one color or another", emphasizing the need for inclusivity in all outdoor activities. Whether you're an avid adventurer or someone curious about the intersection of race and outdoor sports, this episode promises to be both enlightening and inspiring.
Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that challenges assumptions and celebrates diversity in the great outdoors.
