Black Girls Hike (BGH) is a safe space for black women to enjoy the outdoors and be themselves without feeling judged or misunderstood.  It's is about removing barriers and challenging stereotypes and reinforcing the message that the outdoors is for everyone.
 
In Rhiane’s words:
 
Created in 2019, Black Girls Hike UK is an organisation that offers a safe space for black women to explore the outdoors. We know that the outdoors is great for mental and physical health but it’s not very inclusive. 
 
For many black women, getting outdoors can feel intimidating especially when you don’t see people you identify with. 
 
That’s why BGH was created; to empower black women to feel comfortable outdoors and create a community and sisterhood. 
 
We believe representation matters and aim to diversify all aspects of the outdoors.
