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.

I respect the level of difficulty that it takes to hit a small target that can fly up to 55 mph. I like the amount of action, with a high daily limit of 15 doves. I relish making dove (instead of chicken) nuggets out of them to eat. My other favorite wild game to hunt is turkeys, pheasants, and predators."
