The outdoors is yours - Nadeem Perera
Nadeem’s love of nature shone at an early age when it helped him to overcome mental roadblocks and trauma. Since then, his expert knowledge of birds and other wildlife has seen him rise to prominence in a predominantly white, middle class space. In 2020, together with Ollie Olanipekun, he co-founded Flock Together, a birdwatching collective which encourages people of colour to get out and enjoy nature, support each other and look after their mental health.
In this talk Nadeem shares more about his journey, and how a passion and curiosity led to a chance encounter that led to a much needed new movement.
“Had I not found that resource of green spaces, I don’t know where I’d be today. That’s the honest to God truth.”
