Go On A Hike With Black People Outside

When Chevon Linear looked up at the sky as darkness descended over Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park in August of 2020, she unwillingly began to cry. As her partner Kameron Stanton chuckled at her response, Linear tried to rationalize her reaction. As she sought to blame anything from light sensitivity to dust, she simply could not get past her shock at nature’s display. “I’ve never seen anything so vibrant, so beautiful. We literally saw parts of the Milky Way, pointed out satellites,” recalls Linear, gazing upward as though she can still see the stars in her mind.

In an effort to send out a signal of sorts to fellow Black adventurers, Linear began editing random clips from their adventures and uploading them to TikTok, hoping it would reach like-minded people and get people like her outside. Now their account, which the couple runs together, boasts a follower count of more than 60,000 users. Their content features both urban and outdoor adventures, all to the background track of short, irreverent voice-overs talking viewers through their experiences.
