Outdoor Afro Inc. established in 2021 by Rue Mapp – also founder and CEO of national not-for-profit Outdoor Afro. Revisiting her fashion and art background, Mapp formed the “Inc.” enterprise to solve the unmet needs and design barriers in outdoor industry gear and equipment. For the past decade, she noticed how fit, fashion, and functionality were missing features from the outdoor apparel market in her community, making it harder for more outdoor enthusiasts to find comfortable clothing without compromising style.

Revisiting her fashion and art background, Mapp formed the Inc. enterprise to solve the unmet needs and design barriers in outdoor industry gear and equipment. For the past decade, she noticed how fit, fashion, and functionality were missing features from the outdoor apparel market in her community, making it harder for more outdoor enthusiasts to find comfortable clothing without compromising style. This technical hike apparel developed with insights from the Black community. Together, Inc. and the co-op acknowledged that better designs, colors, and materials go a long way with helping everyone feel more like themselves outside.
