I help you uncover the Black history & culture, businesses, and experiences woven into destinations across the United States through my Support BLACK™ framework.
For travelers, I help you experience it.
For destinations, I help you communicate it.
Follow along as I build the largest archive of Black voices and Black-owned travel guides, featuring every U.S. state!
I help you create culturally rich, immersive experiences rooted in Black history, culture, businesses, and community, so you can find connection, representation, and belonging wherever you go.

I help destinations uncover, curate, and communicate the Black stories, businesses, and experiences that already exist in their destinations so they can authentically attract more Black travelers.

My Support BLACK™ framework is the methodology behind how to approach your travel so you move beyond simply visiting a destination to thinking intentionally about how you can Buy, Learn, Amplify, Celebrate, and Knowingly engage with the places you visit.
I give you the framework AND the businesses to support in one book.
BUY Black on Purpose: Choose Black owned businesses first, circulating dollars back into Black communities and building long-term economic power.
LEARN Black History Beyond the Textbooks & Headlines: Seek stories that are often erased or overlooked; honor the legacy, labor, and brilliance that shaped our world.
AMPLIFY Black Voices Loudly: Credit the source, cite the creator, and make sure Black voices are heard, valued, and protected.
CELEBRATE Black Joy Without Conditions: Uplift culture, creativity, and everyday excellence, not just during Black History Month, but year-round.
KNOWINGLY Support BLACK Travel: Don’t just say it, show it! Spend intentionally, show up consistently, and use your influence to back Black people, businesses, and communities every day.
This podcast archives the Black experience across all 50 U.S. states, one conversation at a time. Through real stories, people, and places, we explore Black identity, community, culture, and impact. This is a legacy project rooted in one belief: every destination is a Black destination, with Black stories waiting to be explored, honored, and unlocked.
