As featured on BBC One's The One Show, 'Outsiders' chronicles the remarkable journey of Ollie Olanipekun and Nadeem Perera, two kindred spirits united by their passion for birdwatching. Their brainchild, Flock Together, emerged as a powerful initiative to address the glaring lack of diversity in nature-based activities.
What began as a modest stroll in their neighbourhood park swiftly blossomed into a global outdoor movement, championing community spirit and environmental activism. This compelling memoir-cum-manifesto explores the transformative power of nature, illustrating its capacity to mend, motivate, and bridge divides in the face of societal prejudices and inequalities.
Flock Together has garnered widespread acclaim for its innovative approach. The Telegraph lauds it as "a birdwatching collective encouraging people of colour to explore green spaces and reconcile with their sense of identity". The Times commends its success in "inspiring young people to discover the wildlife on their doorsteps", while Vogue poses the rhetorical question, "During challenging times, what could be more rewarding?"
Join Olanipekun on this extraordinary odyssey as he invites readers to reclaim their rightful place in nature and embrace the healing power of the great outdoors.
