The Nashville Black Wellness Collective is launching its Outside & Active Season this Saturday with a community Hike Day on a trail in Antioch.
The organization aims to build a citywide wellness network centered on fresh air, community, movement and connection. Claude Walker and Dr. Kim Walker are the CEOs and co-founders of the Nashville Black Wellness Collective.
Due to weather, organizers have moved the start time of Saturday's hike to 9 a.m.
The collective also hosts other recurring events, including 2 Mile Tuesday, where participants meet and walk 2 miles on the second and fourth Tuesday evenings. Those walks begin at Bicentennial Park, near the state museum, and go past the state capitol.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
