Dear Members,

I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I find myself once again shaking my head in bewilderment that with all the advancements of African-American people in general and Black women in particular there are still those that attack BlackGirlTravel for our core misson of empowering Black women through travel.

We are so much more than just booking hotels, air, and site seeing. That is something you can get anywhere. We are creating experinces that are transforming lives. The intangible! Through travel we are reminding Black women of their inherent worth, not so much to others, but to themselves. By traveling the world with us, many have learned that "Thier Lives Matter" and have value.

Yes, along the way sometimes romantic relationship have happen. Two women found their now husbands while traveling with us. Four have moved to Italy and all are in commited relationships. Two decided to open their minds to other options, return to the United States to find engagment rings waiting, from EX-boyfriends that took notice of the search. Funny how that works!

I myself is now dating within a WORLD of options and having the time of my life. Something that so many man in the United State told me would be impssible due the "so called numbers" being against me. Words that were flung at my spirit like a knife to cut into my self esteem and cause self doubt. For years it worked. I thought like so many of my sisters, that due to the lack of available men, I had to except less than my worth. You see when you are condidtioned to believe you have little worth, you woud will except things that also have little worth, like just someone say "I love you" with not actions to support the words. Now, I know better! My life matters!

Our tours about helping black women seeing who they really are, queens worthy of the kingdom God has promised them. This not about Black men or really any man that walks this earth. It is not about finding love of a man but finding love of self.

For anyone that wants to turn this into some dark and ugly in an attempt to prevent the awakening, we say unapologetically ...

We would love to know your thoughts. Please visit this page to post your comment.

Protective Travel Hair Styles

My advice to you is to leave the styling tools at home. That means no blow dryer, flat iron, curling wand, or any other tool that you have to plug in. I dare you. Not only is heat styling damaging, but these tools weigh you and your luggage down. In my experience, they’re (read more)

Jobs and Internship Opportunities in Italy

While there's drawbacks to living abroad, there are far more benefits. Just think of its warmth, style, and wonderful food -- its excitable people and their zest for life…its art treasures and the architectural glories of its magnificent past.

Even if you’ve never been there, Italy is one of those places that tugs at the heartstrings. And once you have been there, you’ll start looking for an excuse to move to Italy.

A Black Girl in Italy
Life lesson learned in Italy: Fear has no color

For two years I have been blogging about my dating life in a private Facebook blog "A Black Girl in Italy". We are slowly migrating my stories off Facebook to our own website BlackGirlTravel.com.

A few days ago I was in the Metro (Subway) in Rome with a dear friend. As always, we are lost in conversation, but not so much that we forget to keep our hands on our purses to prevent being pick-pocketed. The train pulls up and the doors open. While entering the train, I am bumped from the side and instinctively pull my purse more to the front of my body without giving it a thought. Within moments, I hear my friend scream from behind me. I turn (Read More)

Travel Tip of The Month
Bye, Bye Extra Passport Pages

At the end of this year, the State Department is doing away with adding pages to US passports. So if you fill your pages up, you'll have to get a new passport altogether. After Dec. 31, all passports issued by the State Department will have 52 pages (called the jumbo book) that last for 10 years, or until there's no space for stamps. After that, frequent travelers simply have to apply for a new passport. As for visas from Brazil, China, India, and so on, they’ll still be valid before their expiration dates; just show your old passport (with any valid visas you need to use) along with your new one. Visas from other countries will expire along with your old passport, though. So whether you’re on page 15 or 30, you might want to order more sheets NOW.
