About this Event
Remembering. Reconnecting. Reclaiming.
Black women have a rich history and connection to nature, but for many of us, that connection has been interrupted. As we navigate the busyness of our lives, balancing our roles as caretakers, community leaders, executives, mothers, aunties, entrepreneurs, creatives, friends and so much more, it's easy to lose touch with the spaces that nourish us most. Nature offers us a chance to slow down, gain clarity and receive wisdom that we can carry into our everyday lives. Despite a common narrative, that Black women “don’t do nature”, we know the truth; we’ve always belonged here.
We invite you to join Black Women in Nature for Black Girl Belong: Reclaiming Our Space in Nature, for a weekend of nature, restoration and sisterhood. This is your invitation to come home to nature–and to yourself.
What is Black Girl Belong?
