Nature is a powerful source of creativity, inspiration and healing; however, it has not always felt like a safe space for people of colour. 'Flock Together' is here to change that, by inspiring everyone, regardless of race, religion or economic status, to build their relationship with the outdoors and embrace all that nature has to offer. Founded by Ollie Olanipekun and Nadeem Perera in summer 2020, 'Flock Together' is the UK's first birdwatching collective for people of colour. Ollie and Nadeem share a mutual love of nature - it is their outlet when faced with neglect and prejudice, it is a place for deep thought and discovery, and it is the foundation on which their friendship and community is built. Part memoir, part manifesto, 'Outsiders' is Flock Together's call-to-action.
