In this episode of the Athletics
Ontario Running Podcast, we sit down with Judith Kasiama, the
visionary founder of Colour the Trails. Based in British Columbia,
Judith uses her background in gender studies to bridge the
representation gap for BIPOC individuals in adventure media,
becoming one of the most influential voices in the outdoor
industry.
Highlights:
- Building Community: How Colour the Trails creates safe spaces for
trail running, mountain biking, and skiing.
- True Allyship: Moving beyond performative gestures toward active
listening and genuine trust.
- Enriching Nature: Why diversity isn’t a zero-sum game, but a way
to add new perspectives and shared joy to the trails.
Judith reminds us that representation provides "permission" to
explore. It’s time to move toward genuine inclusion and a more
vibrant, collective outdoor experience.
