HOW IT ALL began
Black Women in Nature (BWIN) was founded in 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic. While people around the world were impacted by the pandemic, Black and brown communities experienced disproportionate levels of stress, COVID-19-related deaths, hospitalizations and health challenges due to pre-existing structural and social inequities.
