Yasmin Message

Yas, co-founder alongside Lucy Cooper of 'Dykes Who Hike', has built a robust community for LGBTQ+ women, trans, and non-binary people. This unique walking group, which rapidly gained a following of >13,000 on Instagram within months, is testament to Yas's leadership and vision. 'Dykes Who Hike' was conceived from a dual passion: a love for the outdoors and a desire to cultivate connections within their community. The initiative has since grown into a thriving platform that not only encourages physical activity but also fosters a sense of belonging among its members. When she’s not hiking, Yas applies her project management skills from her role at a medical communications agency to ensure the smooth operation and continued growth of 'Dykes Who Hike'.
