Jahmicah and Heather Dawes of Slim Pickins Outfitters say they're on a mission to "diversify the outdoors" by building more inclusive spaces within.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
"One of the outdoor mantras is to 'Leave No Trace.' But with us in our industry, we definitely want to leave a trace," Jahmicah Dawes, owner of Slim Pickins Outfitters, said.
For Jahmicah and Heather Dawes, that trace is their outdoor gear shop, Slim Pickins Outfitters in Stephenville, Texas.
"We're the first Black-owned outdoor shop, but by no means, not even now, are we the only," Jahmicah Dawes said. "I think the numbers right now, they matter to show not so much the representation, but really the lack of representation."
