Building an Inclusive Outdoors
Join us as we talk to Simone Adams! Simone is the Founder and Executive Director of Color My Outdoors, a regional nonprofit changing the outdoor narrative to celebrate People of Color. Under her leadership, Color My Outdoors has become a driving force in shaping a more inclusive outdoor industry—cultivating Leaders of Color, building confidence through family-based outdoor education, and amplifying stories that shift perceptions across the South.
