NaJaRee Nixon, 31, of Southfield, in the forested area outside of her apartment complex in Southfield on Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2023. Nixon said being outside is her “safe space” and that she spent a lot of time in nature during her healing journey from her eating disorder. When Nixon’s “around trees and everything that’s outside of what we constantly have to deal with all day, it’s like a mini vacation and a cleansing,” she said. Being outside, “feels like breathing,” Nixon said. “It feels natural to me.”
