After Debbie Njai started hiking last fall, she knew that there needed to be a space for Black hikers. Learn how she created Black People Who Hike—a community that celebrates Black people in nature—and started the #BlackHikersWeek movement. backpacker.com/news-and-even…

We are excited to partner with @WeHikeToo, a St. Louis-based community organization that helps to reengage Black people to the outdoors. Recently, 30 participants came out to Finger Lakes State Park to spend the day exploring the park and participated a Learn2 Paddle Program.

🥾 Hiking is so much more than a walk in the woods. When you find a good trail, you can find out a little more about yourself – just like Debbie Njai from @WeHikeToo. Read the full #STLMade story ➡ thestl.com/community/natural…
