It all started back in the 1999, filming and showing in a diverse perspective of the different culture. In 2003, Urban American Outdoors TV launched into syndication, airing on a number cable TV networks.

Since that time UAO TV has received four (4) EMMY nominations, and won more than 75 broadcast awards for our contributions to diversifying U.S. television.

“We believe a key element that has been missing in Outdoors has been the inclusion of all people to help continue the preservation of our natural resources, public lands and green spaces that are so important to the health and survival of man and woman.

When we first embarked upon the adventure of creating our own TV show, we talked to friends and professionals alike and what we got in return, were remarks of, Do Black People Hunt? Or Black people don’t camp or hike. This statement alone spoke volumes of what we as Americans think and do.

We felt one way of turning this perception around was by changing the mind through positive diverse images. We embarked upon warming the marketplace in showing other faces until it became the norm. Many people believe that if they don’t see it on Television, then it does not exist. The Media has played an important part in defining who we all are, and it is now up to us to turn this around and tell our own stories. With the help of social media, broadcast, cable & print, it is a lot easier to reach out and form new relationship to shift mindset and capacity build.

Today we stand here and tell the global community that yes we are all in this outdoor paradigm together. We want to make sure that all of our children are taught properly about their inheritance and the green spaces that surrounds them. They also need to know, what their ancestors knew and that is, if you take care of the earth correctly, she will sustain you.”
