Hosted by Angie Lake. Brought to you by the Alliance for Gender Equity in Outdoor Adventure.
Just because somebody is physically safe in the outdoors doesn’t necessarily mean that they can access a sense of belonging.
Sally Steele is co-founder and CEO of Outdoorithm, a platform that makes it easy to find the right campground for your family, and of Outdoorithm Collective, a nonprofit bringing underrepresented families onto public lands for rest, nourishment, movement, and community.
Sally and Angie talked about:
- How slavery, then sharecropping, disrupted her family’s relationship to land for generations
- Growing up without any exposure to national parks or outdoor recreation
- The barriers to belonging outdoors: logistics, the cost of gear, and physical and psychological safety
- Why “will I be physically safe” and “do I belong here” are two different, equally real questions
- Scarcity mentality, geotagging, and the difference between gatekeeping and entitlement
- Building a “Community Vibe Score” for campgrounds, modeled on the Negro Motorist Green Book
- Outdoorithm Collective’s free family camping trips, and the mantras that anchor them
- Why cultivating belonging on public lands is part of what protects them
