The Story with Charu

What are the stories we are told and what are the stories we believe? In most newsrooms across the world there is a morning meeting where reporters discuss the most important stories of the day and which ones to put resources into covering. We live in a time where information comes at us fast. It’s hard to take a breath or know what to trust. Knowledge is power, and when you know better you do better. I want to explore the questions we need to be asking, the stories we need to hear and what exactly is the truth.

The Story with Charu

Black Folks Camp Too

September 30, 2021 • Charu Kumarhia/Earl B. Hunter Jr. • Season 9 • Episode 3

Earl B. Hunter Jr. started Black Folks Camp Too after years in the RV and outdoor recreation industry. After going on a backpacking trip with friends in 2015, he fell in love with the great outdoors and wondered why more African Americans weren’t out there too. He knew all too well the fears and stigma associated with “the woods” for Black Americans.

His company’s goal is to ensure the woods is a place where all people feel safe and at ease. In this interview host Charu Kumarhia and Hunter talk about their shared love of the woods and how to get more Black folks to camp too.
