We're kicking off Black Birders Week 2021 with a good friend of mine, Alex Bailey. Alex is the founder and board president of a wonderful organization called Black Outside Inc. based in San Antonio, Texas dedicated to setting up black youth in the outdoors where they can connect to nature and their culture in a safe and fun way. Join us as we adventure down memory lane of our college years together, how we found ourselves in the outdoor world and how the freedom of birds elicits the joy in birding for black folks. -- Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a special announcement from Amplify the Future regarding their Black and Latinx Birders Scholarship application deadline!
