About
About the Event and Club The BLK Queer Event is for Queer/LGBTQ+ Black people only. We will enjoy a hike while building community through dialogue about the varying experiences of Black Queer/LGBTQIA+ people.
BLK Hiking Club events are intended for Black people only unless otherwise stated due to the limited options that exist for Black people to engage in the outdoors where we can easily see and engage with others who look like us and share our experiences. While we appreciate the work of allies, they are encouraged to join one of the many other hiking groups in the Triangle.
