Lapho uhlola imizila kazwelonke namapaki, imiyalo yokuthakazelelwa engashiwongo ifaka phakathi "ukungashiyi lutho" - shiya umhlaba ungenamgoqo njengoba wawuthola - futhi "ungalimazi" - ungaphazamisi izilwane zasendle noma imvelo. Uma bekukhona okwesithathu okuklanywe kucatshangwa nge-Hike Clerb, bekungaba "ukuthatha indawo" - zizwela futhi ukhululeke ukujabulela imvelo.

Isungulwe ngo-2017 ngu-Evelynn Escobar, manje oseneminyaka engama-29, iHike Clerb iyiklabhu yokuphakama yabesifazane e-LA esekwe kabusha ecabanga ngekusasa langaphandle okukhulu; iklabhu encike ekuhlanganiseni, emphakathini, nasekulapheni. Ukukubeka nje, ithimba lenhlangano labathathu - u-Escobar kanye nabanye ababili - lifuna ukudiliza imigoqo egcina abamnyama, abomdabu, kanye nabantu abanemibala ekuxhumaneni nemvelo - futhi, ngokwenza njalo, basiza ukwehlukanisa okude, okumangazayo isikhala esimhlophe esingaphandle.

Yize abantu abanemibala bebala cishe amaphesenti angama-40 wabantu base-U.S., Cishe amaphesenti angama-70 alabo abavakashela amahlathi ezwe, izindawo zokuvikela izilwane zasendle, kanye namapaki kazwelonke amhlophe, ngokusho kweNational Health Foundation. Ngaleso sikhathi, ama-Hispanics kanye nama-Asian America enza ngaphansi kwamaphesenti amahlanu abantu abahambela izindawo zokupaka futhi abase-Afrika baseMelika benza ngaphansi kwamaphesenti ama-2, ngokusho kombiko ka-2018 oshicilelwe ku. Isithangami SikaGeorge Wright.

Ngokuqondene nokuthi kungani kunokuntuleka okungaka kokuhlukahluka? Izizathu ezahlukahlukene zingalandelwa emuva lapho uColumbus "ethola" iMelika futhi eqala ukukhipha aboMdabu ezweni labo. Futhi akufanele sikhohlwe ngomlando omude wezwe wokucindezelwa ngokobuhlanga, obambe iqhaza elikhulu ngokungenakuphikwa ekuqothulweni kwabantu abaMnyama ngaphandle futhi kube nomthelela ebudlelwaneni obuphikisanayo phakathi kwabaNsundu kanye "nezindawo zasehlane," ngokusho kwephepha locwaningo. kushicilelwe ku- Izimiso Zokuhle Zemvelo. Kalula nje: Ingaphandle yasuka ekubeni isiphephelo emsebenzini nempilo yasemasimini yaya endaweni yengozi nokwesaba ukushaywa.

Ngisho nangemva kweminyaka, ingaphandle isalokhu iyindawo egxile ekucwaseni ngokwebala, ukuhlukumezeka kanye nokucwaswa kwabantu abaningi abambalwa. Kepha u-Escobar noHike Clerb basemkhankasweni wokukushintsha lokho, ukuhamba kwemvelo okukodwa ngasikhathi. (Bheka futhi: Lezi Zinzuzo Zokuhamba Izintaba Zizokukwenza Ufune Ukushaya Imizila)

Umqondo we-Hike Clerb wazalwa ngokuhlangenwe nakho kuka-Escobar, ikakhulukazi labo ngesikhathi evakashele okokuqala epaki likazwelonke. Ukufakelwa kwakamuva kwe-LA esanda kweva eminyakeni engu-20 ngaleso sikhathi, isishoshovu saya empumalanga saya eGrand Canyon naseZion National Park. Lapho wahlangatshezwa nemibono ekhangayo kodwa nokugqolozelwa okungamukeleki sengathi uyabuza ukuthi "uvelaphi?; ufunani ngempela lapha?" kubavakashi abamhlophe.

Lezi zingxabano zazingajwayelekile. Ukukhula njengoBlack Latina wohlanga lwendabuko eVirginia, u-Escobar wayejwayele ukuzizwa engakhululekile. Nansi into, nokho: “Akusikhona thina, njengabantu bebala, esisenza sizizwe singakhululekile,” usho kanje. "Kuyincindezelo; kuyilungelo elimhlophe; ubandlululo - ukuthi "futhi lokhu akuhlukile ngaphandle, lapho lokhu kusho ukuthi i-BIPOC ayiyona indlela ngandlela thile" kuwumkhiqizo ocacile walezi zinhlaka ezihlelekile. "

"Uma kukhulunywa ngemvelo, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi thina, bantu bemibala, siphume siye lapho njengoba sizibona ngokugcwele futhi singahambisani nalokho umphakathi okholelwa ukuthi umuntu ongaphandle ubukeka enjani noma aziphathe njengawo."

"Ilungelo abantu abamhlophe abazizwa ngalo ngaphandle nasendleleni eholela ekugcinweni kwamasango, bebheka abantu abanemibala ngokugqolozela okunjengokuthi, 'wenzani lapha?' noma ama-microaggressions emizileni, ngokwezwi nezwi njengokuthi 'oh ingabe leli yiqembu lasemadolobheni?' ukuthi yilokho okungakhululekile," kusho u-Escobar.

Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abanye abazange bahlangabezane nokuntuleka okufanayo kokubandakanywa ngaphandle, umphakathi ogxile ku-woxn-of-color-centered wasungulwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi i-BIPOC ingathola futhi ibe khona emandleni emvelo, ngokunethezeka nangokuphephile. "Uma kuziwa endalweni, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi thina bantu abanebala elimhlophe, siphume siye lapho njengoba sizazi ngokuphelele futhi singahambisani nalokho umphakathi okholelwa ukuthi umuntu ongaphandle ubukeka noma aziphathe kahle," kusho u-Escobar. ukuphuma lapho sikhombise ukuthi silapha futhi sithathe yonke indawo esiyidingayo.

Ku-Hike Clerb, ukulwa nokushoda kokumeleleka kumayelana nokuthuthukisa ukufinyeleleka ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi izimanga zemvelo zivulekele wonke umuntu. Lokhu bakwenza ngokunikeza amathuba kulabo abangasichithanga isikhathi esiningi ngaphandle ukuze bazinikeze iqembu (vs. yedwa). Iminikelo yekilabhu ifana kakhulu nabantu be-BIPOC asebevele "baphandle," kepha kungenzeka bangazizwa sengathi bangababo, uyachaza.

Ukuphela kokufanele ukwenze i-RSVP komunye wemicimbi yenhlangano efakwe ohlwini lwewebhusayithi yomkhiqizo bese uvela. IHike Clerb inikeza amathuluzi amaningi, izinsizakusebenza, nemfundo edingekayo ukuze iphumele ngaphandle ngokuphepha futhi izuze izinzuzo, noma ngabe zingokomzimba - okuyiyo yokuqinisa imisipha, ukushaya i-cardio - kanye / noma nengqondo - okusho ukunciphisa ukucindezeleka, ukukhulisa imizwa yakho. Igoli? Ukunika amandla nokuhlomisa i-BIPOC womxn ekugcineni ihlole ngaphandle ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili ngokuthatha isikhala. Ngemuva kwakho konke, "thina ngokwethu singabalapha," kusho u-Escobar. "Futhi ngabantu abasebenza kulezi zindawo [zengcindezelo] okuyizithiyo zokungena kwabanye abantu bebala ukungena ngaphandle."

Ohambweni olujwayelekile lwakanye ngenyanga, ungathembela kulokho u-Escobar akuchaza njengokuthi "isikhathi esincane sokusetha inhloso" ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi oClerb bakhona futhi bahlale beqaphile kulo lonke uhambo. Uyachaza: "Lolu hlobo lwe-supercharges esikwenzayo ngokubona okuphulukisayo," kuchaza yena. Ungalindela futhi ukuqaphela umhlaba okuwo futhi ubuyekeze imithetho ethile eyisisekelo ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi wonke umuntu uyawuhlonipha futhi uyawunakekela. Futhi ngenkathi uku-adventure eqondisiwe engamamayela amathathu (engafinyeleleka ngisho nangaphandle kwezicathulo zokuhamba ngezobuchwepheshe noma isipiliyoni sangaphambilini), uzophinda ube nomuzwa oqinisiwe wokuba yingxenye yomphakathi (ngokwesilinganiso sokunyuka +/- 50 womxn).

Emhlabeni okahle wangemva kwe-COVID, i-Hike Clerb inganwebeka idlule i-LA futhi iqale ukunikeza izinhlobo ezahlukene zezinhlelo eziqondisiwe (okungukuthi, uhambo lwesonto lonke) ngaphezu kohambo lwamanje lwamanje, kusho u-Escobar. Ukuhlangabezana nale ntshisekelo kuzwelonke kuzoqhubeka nokulwa nokutholakala kwabantu basepaki abaphansi futhi ngokomlando njengoba i-geography nayo iyisithiyo ekubambeni iqhaza ngaphandle okukhulu. Eqinisweni, “amapaki amakhulu kunawo wonke aziwa kakhulu e-Interior West, [okuhlanganisa izifunda ezifana ne-Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, ne-Wyoming], kuyilapho abantu abaningi abambalwa begxile e- ugu olusempumalanga noma olusentshonalanga, "ngokusho kwendatshana eshicilelwe ku Izimemezelo zeNhlangano Yama-American Geographer.

Naphezu kokuguquguquka kwango-2020, ithimba elincane kodwa elinamandla lika-Hike Clerb livotele ukuhlangabezana nezidingo ze-COVID-safe nature ecapism ngokubandakanya, ukusimama, nokudala engqondweni. Yize imibuthano ebonakalayo ibilinganiselwe (kuze kufike kwabangu-20 abahlukaniswe ngokwenhlalo, ababambe iqhaza abafake izifihla-buso), bakwazile ukuhlangana namalungu eqembu labo lapho bekhona, ngokomzimba nangokomzwelo. Kuwo wonke lo bhubhane, inhlangano isaphumelele ukuhlala ixhunywe emphakathini nasemvelweni yabo ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene. Banikeze izikhumbuzo zomphakathi zokuthi amandla okuphulukisa emvelo angafinyelelwa ngisho nalapho unethezekile endaweni yangakini futhi basungula uhlelo lokunikeza amaphasi amathathu onyaka e-National Park ku-BIPOC inyanga ngayinye kusukela ngo-Okthoba 2020 kuya ku-March 2021. Futhi njengesifundo semikhawulo e-LA indawo, ukunyuka kwentaba kuyaqhubeka nokuhlehla futhi ngenkathi kusalandelwa imihlahlandlela yokuphepha ye-COVID.

Emazwini ka-Escobar, "ukuhamba ngezinyawo kuwuhambo olukhazimulayo endaweni yangaphandle." Akudingeki uvakashele kuphela ipaki likazwelonke noma ihlathi eliseduze ukwakha ubudlelwano nemvelo - ukuqala kungafinyeleleka futhi kuphephe njengokuhamba "epaki edolobheni lakho, ukhumule izicathulo zakho egcekeni lakho unamathele ezinyaweni zakho ukungcola ukuzithela kuwe, nokugcwalisa indawo yakho ebonakalayo ngotshani ukuletha imvelo ngaphakathi kuwe, "esho.

Mayelana nomsebenzi oqhubekayo wokwenza ukuthi ingaphandle ibandakanye bonke abantu, u-Escobar uphakamisa ukuthi amabhrendi atshale imali emaqenjini enza umsebenzi osekelwe emphakathini kanye nakubahambi ngabanye ukuze "benze bonke bazizwe bamukelekile." Ngemuva kwakho konke, ngaphandle okukhulu kukhulu ngokwanele ukuthi wonke umuntu akwazi ukuthatha isikhala, ngokunethezeka.
