Overview

Black Earth United, driven by the principles of Gawakazi, is a creative ecosystem reclaiming narratives, honoring ancestral wisdom, and forging a harmonious bond with nature worldwide. Through intergenerational and interdisciplinary collaborations, we illuminate the gaps in the outdoor industry's narrative, cultivating inclusivity and justice. We revere the sacredness of our land connections, steadfastly preserving their significance. Our clothing, our storytelling and our offerings interlace cultures, nurturing a profound kinship with nature. We raise consciousness about the historical quests for healing, community, resources, and salvation within the land's embrace. We unite diverse perspectives and dream of shaping a future where heritage and horizons harmoniously converge.
