In this episode, we have the true pleasure of sitting down with Jessyca Isidoro, Co-Founder of Colour Your Trail. Together, we explore the crucial topic of making the outdoors inclusive and safe for marginalized communities. Jessyca shares her deep love of nature, her impressive athletic journey, and the inspiration behind founding Colour Your Trail.
She offers valuable insights into the historical experiences of people of colour in outdoor spaces, the barriers these communities face, and actionable steps we can take to create a more welcoming environment for everyone.
This important and timely conversation, as we believe that nature should be a safe, accessible, and an inclusive space for everyone.
Special note: We entered this space with great respect and are incredibly grateful to Jessyca for sharing her insight and knowledge on the topic with us. As learners, we are working hard to get it right, but it is certainly an evolution. What we think is most important is to continue to have these conversations and to learn from one another. Thank you for your patience with us.
