Hi there! Courtney Akinosho here. I’m a Black, Southern femme who’s loved the outdoors (and called GA home) my whole life. I grew up fishing, picking plums and berries on the side of the road, climbing trees and collecting rocks. I’m a new birder, but I’ve been #BlackInNature. ✊🏾

Hey y’all I’m Alex and coincidentally my last name is Troutman and I’m a wildlife Biologist ! As a part of #BlackBirdersWeek with #BlackAFinSTEM today I’ll be showcasing #blackinNature form my perspective. To start off here are two species I’ve worked with so far

Kicking off #BlackBirdersWeek by celebrating #BlackInNature ! The outdoors belong to everyone.

It's #BlackBirdersWeek! As many of you know I spend a lot of time on the water. It's my happy place and I get anxious when I've been away from the sea for too long. But I also enjoy hiking. Nature is rad! Here are some pics of me being #BlackInNature. I stand with #BlackAFinSTEM

It's Day One of #BlackBirdersWeek! The first ever week dedicated to visibility, awareness, and dialogue. We're kicking it off by celebrating our love of the outdoors and being #BlackInNature. Use that hashtag to share yours! Now, allow me to introduce myself! Lauren D. Pharr 𓅪

I'm a young black paleontologist, geologist, and Paleo/Geo educator in Gwinnett County, Georgia. I enjoy watching modern day dinosaurs. I enjoy unlocking the secrets that are hidden in the rocks around us and sharing the history of 4 billion years. #BlackInNature #BlackAFinSTEM

#BlackBirdersWeek I've been birding since I was 7 (found out they were dinosaurs lol) and it changed my entire life. I've volunteered at wildlife charities and shelters, and managed to get a BSc in Zoology and an MRes in Animal Behaviour! #BlackInNature #BlackAFinSTEM

I love being #BlackInNature Outdoors is always where I’ve felt the most connected, not only to the living things around me but to myself and my ancestors. In college, solo exploring allowed me to discover myself and open my eyes to the world around me. I belong here.
