We’re kicking off The Great Outdoors series, set in sunny California for a six-video rundown featuring some amazing organizations that are up to some amazing things! 

Sponsored by Chevrolet, join host Ciara Johnson as she travels across the nation showcasing Black organizations that are on their passionate missions to change the narrative of Black and Brown people in the outdoor space. In this episode, we are out here in Privates Beach for some community bonding and surfing with Black Surf Club. 

TheGrio team hangs out in Santa Cruz with Black Surf Club founder Bella Bonner, whose goal is to tear down barriers that often keep our oceans segregated. Her vision is to create a community of healing for Black, Indigenous and people of color in the Santa Cruz community. 

In this episode, Bella discusses what sparked her to create the organization during the pandemic and where she hopes to see its efforts go in the near future.
