Save Yourself Sis!!!⁣⁣⁣ @thewerkuniversity ⁣⁣⁣
-
-
At a young age I knew I was destined for greatness despite being raised within a challenged community and a single parent household.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
At the mere age of 11, I took a trip of a life time to Washington, D.C., from Mobile, Alabama, where I got a glimpse of what life could be for me if only I took drastic measures. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Going against the grain, questioning every thing I knew to be true, while eliminating one limited belief at a time has not been easy. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Often times, that mean leaving those behind who you love and cherish. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Here’s what I know to be true... where ever you are in life, no matter how bad your situation may be, you can and must Save Yourself. No one is coming. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
There are no rescuers on the road to greatness. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It’s all on YOU!!!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Had I waited on someone to rescue me, I know for sure Black Girls Travel Too would have never been...⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Being able to create impactful life changing experiences specifically for women of color is one of the greatest opportunities I’ve been presented with. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But it all started with me saving myself first. ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Are you ready to save yourself, Sis?!?!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Happy International Women’s Day!!!⁣⁣⁣

⁣We conclude our partnership with @delta by sharing our final story of a Black traveler in recognition of Black History Month. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
@essieizspicy shares her experience with travel. #ad⁣⠀
⁣⠀
"While my mother was pregnant with me, she kept traveling for work. That could be the reason why I actually find flying tranquil and soothing. I have a 10-month old niece and we want her to experience the joys, thrills and opportunities that traveling offers. #ad⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Travel for me opened many doors, from education to therapy and ultimately starting a food business collecting flavors from around the globe and blending them with my native West African spices. One of the ingredients I use in my sauces is tamarind. Even though the tamarind plant originated from sub-Saharan Africa, the spice in our sauce is sourced from Thailand. Coming to Thailand helped me make a connection with the local food, which highlights the tamarind fruit.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
The trip to Thailand and my many other travels allow me to continually connect the dots showing the differences in cuisines but also how food unites us no matter where we are. Travel, therefore, can be a conduit for businesses across different borders, whether in food, tech, fashion or design. Whether you're looking for inspiration, sourcing ingredients or looking for raw materials, travel can be the spark you need to start your own business.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
The future and landscape of travel are changing. When I moved to the US, it was difficult to explain to people where Ghana was located. But now, Ghana is one of the hottest travel destinations; everyone from Hollywood to Wall Street is in Ghana either for cultural exploration or business engagement. Last year, 2019, marked 400 years since the first slave ships landed on United States soil from West Africa and the Ghanaian government invited the entire black diaspora to return home and see Ghana as a land of opportunity; to visit, to invest and to make it home again.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Through my experiences as an immigrant moving to the US and establishing a food business, I aspire to break the stereotypes for immigrants wanting to dream beyond boarders but especially to inspire my niece to be fearless. #delta

Out of many, one people - Jamaican Coat of Arms⁣⠀
⁣⠀
We are thrilled to bring you another Black traveler story through our partnership with @delta in recognition of Black History Month. #ad ⠀⁣⠀
⁣⠀
@packslight shares her travel experience.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
⁣⠀
“My full name is Gabby Beckford. My father is Jamaican and immigrated to the U.S. at age 12. My surname isn't extremely common, but I have run into Beckfords in New York, Toronto, London, and even Dubai, and each one has been Jamaican. (You may be familiar with my long lost Uncle, Tyson? 💁🏿‍♂️)⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
Last year for my birthday my friend and I took an impromptu trip and ended up in the U.S. Virgin Islands for a long weekend. I knew virtually nothing about the territory except that Americans didn't need a passport to visit so I expected it to be extremely tourist-centric. And it was. However, one of my followers from St. Thomas offered to meet up and help us tap into its true Afro-Caribbean culture.⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
We ate oxtail, johnnycakes, and fungi so good I had to look around and make sure it wasn't my Grandma back there cooking. We learned how being colonized more than 7 times had affected the island's population demographics, making it a multiracial melting pot of Caribbean Islanders—so much so that I was assumed to be local multiple times!⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
However, the most shocking experience had to be when a waiter saw my receipt, recognized my last name, and told me he was friends with a few Beckfords. I was floored. What are the odds?!⁣⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀
Looking back it all seems extremely... fated.⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
To board a random flight, on a random day, to a random destination, and find so much home.⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
My birthday gift from the universe was knowing that no matter where I go, a piece of home will never be far. Whether it's in a similar physical feature, a nostalgic food, or a literal stray Beckford wandering around like I am. And that when I travel and learn about other Black cultures, I am inevitably learning more about myself.⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
With the Diaspora, the world is home because—as the Jamaican national motto goes⁣⠀

@glographics on her mother's childhood front porch in Nigeria, shares her experience with travel as the daughter of immigrants. #ad⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
"To be able to travel to places like Japan, a dream bucket list destination and my favorite country in the world, is the ultimate privilege and something that felt like such an accomplishment. If you were raised in an immigrant family like me, chances are, travel was something that was done out of necessity or survival. To be the first in my family to travel for leisure internationally both with my American and Nigerian passport has opened doors to new conversations of possibility. I was even able to visit my parents’ Motherland of Nigeria for the first time as well and gain better cultural context and understanding as to why I was raised a certain way. Whether traversing the landscapes in Peru or watching a sunset in Australia, travel is something that will continue to be an integral part of my life not only for the joy it brings me, but to show the possibility for those in my community too. Where will you travel this year?"⁣⁣⠀

Global Citizen, Ms.@enchantedtravelr shares her experience in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
One of the things that I love about Rio, is that it is festive even when there is nothing major happening. Every day feels like carnival. The locals really enjoy their home and hang out at the same spots as the tourist. They don't have to escape their city to enjoy life.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Do you feel that way about your city?⁣⠀

“Never did the world make a queen of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without travelling.” ― Roman Payne, The Wanderess⁣⠀
⁣⠀
In celebration of Black History Month, here is another amazing black traveler story brought to you by @delta. #ad⁣⠀
⁣⠀
@theawkwardtraveller shares her travel experiences.⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
“When you travel, especially as a black woman, you almost expect to look like an outsider. If you aren't traveling to a country in the Afro Diaspora, you can almost predict being stared at or someone asking about your hair. It's basically a given. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
However, during my most recent trip to Jordan, that didn't happen at all. Jordan itself is just hours from the continent of Africa, and Jordanians come in all shapes, shades, and sizes. Many people outside of the Middle East might think that being Black or Arab is mutually exclusive, but they're not. Afro-Jordanians are FROM the Jordan Valley, as far back as they can trace their ancestry. The fact that I can see people in the community that literally look LIKE ME was incredibly heartwarming and inspiring. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I stayed at a desert camp, Captain's Camp, and every night there was a huge feast for the guests. I was in Jordan, but suddenly I was also transported back to my grandmother's house, whenever it was someone's birthday. The camp chefs became the uncles I grew up with, who would laugh and joke about which one of them had the best BBQ. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
"Do you speak Arabic?" One of the staff asked, offering to wrap a khimar (headscarf) around my head. I shook my head, but he grinned. "ant eayila," he translated. "You are family." ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And of course, there was dancing, SO MUCH DANCING. Even after solemnly swearing I can't dance (🥴), my new friends looped their arms under mine and carried me into the dance circle.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I fell into my bed, exhausted, but with a smile. I didn't expect to feel at home in Jordan. I didn't expect to see myself in the locals. Yet there I was, quads burning from dropping it low and the impending food coma killing me to sleep under the stars. I didn’t expect to feel like I belonged. But travel has a way of reminding you to expect the unexpected. ✊🏽⁣⁣⠀

@daniellecooper shares her story behind her love of travel.⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
"There are not enough words to describe how much I’ve been able to grow with my @Delta fam. #Sponsored: By being a Delta Ambassador, I’m excited to participate in their celebration to honor my culture during Black History Month. Delta is committed to diversity and inclusiveness and they are always striving to showcase this. In honor of Black History Month, Delta is reflecting and celebrating various stories from our culture and so here's mine:⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
As a daughter of a military man and a wanderlust mother who loves to explore, travel is embedded in my DNA.⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
Before I was born, my parents were already traveling to various places. Thanks to their military life they went from Europe and Asia to many states in the US.⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
With every trip, they took a little and stored it away to share with me and my brothers so that our adventure could start to take shape and we would be excited to go out and explore through travel.⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
My mother always said that the world is out there for you to take hold of and make it your own! Go out and explore every corner, culture, scenery, and remember to go where the locals go because that’s how you’ll truly get to know someplace.⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
When I wasn't hopping on a plane to visit my dad and family, I was traveling to play basketball. The game took me all over, ultimately landing me in Germany to pursue my dream of playing professionally. Little did I know that that opportunity and living abroad would change my life so drastically, exposing me to the world of men fashion.⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣
I couldn't ask for better or stronger and supportive parents who built this foundation that I stand on. My parents and family have always believed and supported me every step of the way, continuing to push me to dream bigger and never stop exploring. I can't wait to pass these same sentiments on to my children and take this same type of picture with them in front of Harrods (London, UK)." ⁣⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣

This Black History Month, we're excited to partner with @delta to share black travel stories. #ad⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Here is Ms. @theufuoma reflecting back to her time in Cartagena, Colombia.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
"I've had many outstanding travel moments but my time in Cartagena, Colombia is near and dear to my heart. As I walked through the cobbled streets of Cartagena, I couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging, acceptance and warmth. I saw people who could easily pass up as my Aunties and cousins and that made me settle in quicker. Standing out and being an object of spectacle is something I have come to accept as a black traveler but my experience in Colombia was a welcome change that I embraced with open arms.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Travel has become a big part of my life – it's transformed me in so many ways but looking back, this wasn't always the case. Growing up, like most people do, I had big dreams to see the world, experience new cultures, try new cuisine and make new friends. What I didn’t have, however, was a roadmap, a guidebook specifically tailored to me, a first-hand experience on what I could expect. Nothing truly prepared me for some of the things I encountered abroad. As one of the first people to travel as far and wide in my family as I have, I had to chart my own path, embrace the unknown, discover things for myself and come back to share it with the world, with you.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
It's a part of our human nature to explore and see what's around the corner! Today, I look back to reflect on my black travel journey and I can't help but be proud of how far we have come, how we are changing the narratives and pushing new boundaries. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
To all my black travelers, I hope that this month, and every month after this, you stand tall and proud – you embrace new adventures and you continue to pave the way. You'd not only be doing this for yourself, but you'd also be doing this for future generations to come."⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Tag a black traveler you know – recognize them and give them kudos – because they deserve it! ⁣⠀
