Misha visits her old stomping grounds, Brooklyn, New York, where she meets up with with Alison Desir and Jerry Francois to learn about their experience running while black and how run clubs have helped all sorts of New Yorkers— from the bright-eyed newcomer to the longtime locals— find community in a city where everyone seems like a stranger.

About the podcast:

In season 1, Misha Euceph traveled across the country to share the unknown stories of America’s National Parks. In season 2, Misha is back on the road in her Subaru Outback Wilderness, and this time she’s exploring nature right outside our front doors in cities across the country – from Los Angeles to Atlanta and Portland to New York City. She’s hitting the trails, camping out at local preserves, and running alongside local change-makers to answer the questions: What makes these outdoor spaces so important? How do we access, protect, and engage with these spaces? And who are the leaders of color helping to get people outside?
