Nationwide social group 'Outdoorsy Black Women' comes to Southern Arizona, encouraging women of color to build relationships through representation in the outdoors.
TUCSON, Ariz. — “If you were to search the term outdoors or outdoorsy in Google, and you're not going to see faces like ours," said Toyin Ajayi, Founder of Outdoorsy Black Women.
This then led to her starting the social group,"Outdoorsy Black Women" by hosting hikes and outdoor activities to allow women of color to have a safe and open space to build relationships through representation. Her group,"Outdoorsy Black Women" started in Atlanta, Georgia and has now expanded to over 17 chapters, with one of them being in Tucson. Ajayi says Southern Arizona is the perfect place for the group because of our active climate.
“I wanted to have that connection, I wanted to have that sisterhood. I just wanted to meet other people that had common interests as me and explore things that's generally not something that's talked about in our community," said Ashley Perez, Tucson Ambassador for Outdoorsy Black Women.
