My aim is to encourage and reach out to more women of colour to walk and enjoy unknown places to them, further afield in the countryside,
We are a walking group established in Bristol in April 2021 to enable us to reach out to local women in the Bristol area to encourage an interest in walking and thriving in open spaces. We are a grassroots group of women of colour who are passionate about walking and enthusing who identify with our lived experience to do so.
We regularly organise walks, for those who wish to take short walks and for those who wish to take longer treks.
The aim is to help motivate women of colour to visit places they would not have ventured to including rural areas around Bristol and further afield in the south west, routes that can get women around the city and beyond, routes that stoke interest and wonder.
Why we do it: There has been a reluctance for women of colour to venture in unfamiliar spaces where they feel exposed, judged, and remarked on. This has led to our staying in our lanes.
We want to encourage women to step across these boundaries and push their limits, to do this in the safety and company of others who share similar experiences of discrimination and disadvantage.
We want to enable the activity of walking to be uplifting and enriching to the lives of women of colour of all abilities, to present walking as opportunities to engage in conversation, creative reflection, enjoyment of nature, appreciation of new environments and fundamentally to help address issues of mental health which have been prevalently on the increase
During Events we welcome all people regardless of their Characteristics/Culture/Race as we will open up as a more diverse group during events, and we hope you are able to join us
We look forward to meeting you!
