Outdoor Afro is a national not-for-profit organization that celebrates and inspires Black connections and leadership in nature. I founded Outdoor Afro in 2009 because the prevailing narrative at the time suggested that Black people weren’t connected to the outdoors. That simply didn’t reflect my life or the experiences of so many Black families and communities I knew.

Hunting became more than a hobby—it became a way for me to provide clean, responsibly sourced meat that I know I can eat. Processing my own game also gives me a better understanding of what I'm putting into my body.
