Jasmine Maisonet

Founder

Hello and thanks for checking out the QPOC Hikers shop!

I am a queer, non-binary, person of color who was born and raised in New York. I am a graphic designer and photographer by trade and an avid outdoor adventurer, hiker, climber, snowboarder, and cyclist. I have always loved the outdoors and being active, but my first camping experience in Yosemite National Park in 2013 solidified that love. Four years later, I moved to San Diego and developed a love for hiking while completing the 52 Hike Challenge. In 2019, I moved again, to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and started QPOC Hikers. QPOC Hikers meets monthly for in-person hikes and to share space.

Help us increase visibility and representation of queer people of color outdoors by using the tag #QPOCHikers and tagging @QPOCHikers on Instagram!
