Having grown up in Anchorage, Alaska you would assume that Courtney Lanctot grew up doing all the wilderness activities but that was far from the case. She fully believed the narrative that Black people didn’t do the outdoor things, afterall she hadn’t seen or experienced any positive examples. It wasn’t until 2016 that she had really been in nature for more than a basic hike. During a camping trip with trusted friends, Courtney fell in love with the outdoors.
Courtney is the owner and founder of The Unpopular Black, through which she encourages Black adventure by providing representation, information, and access to the outdoors and adventure activities. Her work includes exploring outdoor places and spaces unpopular to the Black community, transparently educating through social media and her non-profit the National Black Adventure Directory, organizing Black adventure trips and more.
Courtney’s foundation belief is that nature heals and expands you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Her work is to connect he Black community to this.
