While we were filming a spot of Brooklyn Bell, a Patagonia athlete & activist for Go RV'ing in Oregon, the world was in turmoil. Protests were happening all over North America and people were no longer standing idol while people of color were being killed by the police, mistreated by society, and deprived of human rights.  Brooklyn shared a poem with us about her experience with racism, a word we must not shy away from. We were moved and made a call to Outside Magazine and we all agreed it needed to be filmed. Please check out this powerful & personal poem we were fortunate enough to capture.
