Everything we know – all that we were once sure of, is being Rumbled and shaken to its core. The rattle Quake Pangs Like those of a mother in labour – experiencing every move – within and throughout. What do we have now? Who are we? Without our stuff? All that which we called pretty, and convenient and necessary. The water is stirred. The dust whipped up by wind. Something unseen is causing all we see to move, until we are all but laid bare – and what remains Is the notion of eternity – ages that exist without beginning or end, the here, the now. The ones we have that we forgot we needed. The getting back to basics where all that matters is this humanity we hold – that innate hope that allows us to dream. That faith which allows us to stand and fight despite our emotions, and love – our selfless response and service, our showing up – without needing to be seen. Let the plates of the earth be moved. Let the oceans roar their greatness. Let the fire rage until all that is left is unshakeable. Pure, Gold. . 📸: @yuvala96

This picture is interested to look at from afar I look a little scared even a bit confused but when you zoom in you are able to notice my smile. It’s funny I took this picture in Barcelona when I went to a science-based conference. First of all I was the only black female. Secondly, I just felt like I did not belong in that research space. It’s so weird how sometimes we find ourselves in spaces we initially thought we don’t deserve. I even remember texting a friend of mine saying “I think I’m going to get busted, all this people are so much smarter than me.” Imposter syndrome is so real and it deprives you from enjoying the fruits of your labour. This is just a friendly reminder that YOU ARE MEANT TO BE THERE! I know it sounds is easier said than done but honestly own your success and take your seat at the table. There’s a reason why are you there. Enjoy it! 📸 self timer 😉

I love finding beautiful spots like this Russian Orthodox Church in Riga. I think I'm low key obsessed with the architecture of religious buildings 😍⁣ ⁣ Surprisingly, I didn't find this church on Instagram. I actually found it on pinterest.⁣ ⁣ What's your favourite way to find things to do in a destination?⁣ ⁣ P.S. I did wear my pink coat to match the church, because yes, I am that extra 🤷🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️⁣ ⁣ 📸: @mybreakingviews ⁣ #wanderlustcalls ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ °♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°⁣ #visitriga #liveriga #rigalatvia #visitlatvia #ladiesgoneglobal #theblacktourist #globaljetblack #blacktravelerfeed #blackgirlstraveltoo #blackwomentravel #blacktravelblogger #queensabroad #cocoagirlstravel #essencetravels #blackandabroad #blacktravelclub

Cultural Immersion: Actively integrating into an unfamiliar community, interacting with local people, and seeking to understand the way others live in that community by being there and engaging in daily life activities. One of the reasons I love traveling is because of the opportunity to experience different cultures and do so absent of judgement and ignorance. Don’t take someone else’s word for it…. go see first hand. #blessup • • • • #theblacktravelclub #blacktraveljourney #blacktravelfeed #blackvoyageurs #blackandabroad #madtravel #blacktravelgram #blackguystraveltoo #blackpassportstamps #mytravelcrush #travelisthenewclub #travel #blacktravel #blackguystraveltoo #travelnoire #myvoyageback

Happy new year, fam! Excited to be popping up in your feeds in 2020 and (hopefully) beyond. Ive said it a hundred times already, but this year has been a whirlwind. Recently a friend told me, “Girl, I can hardly keep up with you.” And I said, “You? I can hardly can keep up with myself.” And that’s the truth. Admittedly, this blog has been one of the few constants I’ve had throughout this journey. You’ve all heard stories that some of the people closest to me have yet to hear. This blog/instagram has been my passion project, a diary…the one thing I’ve come back to over and over again. This past year, it took me on adventures that I never could have imagined and I can only thank you all for that. Right now, I’m in a period of stillness or indecision…whichever you prefer to call it. I’ll be straight up and say that I haven’t chosen resolutions, goals, or destinations yet. And I’m sure that if i did, they would change anyway. I’m learning to be okay with that. Regardless of what happens or where I go next, just know that you’re stuck with me! 😜⁣ ⁣ Tell me what you want! What type of content would you like to see more of? What do you want to see from me? Specific destinations, guides, photos, videos, meetups? Help me help you! Would you like to see a 2020 recap in stories with experiences and lessons learned in travel, business, relationships, etc.?

B A L I . . This trip was a whirlwind!! From getting into a scooter accident, hosting one of my first Group trips, to being away for 18 days, and on top of that losing a business partner all on the same trip. "IT WAS A LOT" . . I didn't leave this trip with the Awe-inspiring feeling that I normally have, I usually come back to the States motivated and ready to roll but this time I was sad and a little hurt. . . I'm not going to say my whole trip was bad… I made amazing new friends, the group trip was incredible, got to have dinner with Russell Simmons, and also learn of new business moves… . All failure are lessons and I'm excited but humble that I was able to learn new things. . If I met you in Bali you are forever in my heart and I can't wait to come back! . Welcome all my new friends to #chubbydiaries . #bali #indonesia #temples #lempuyangtemple #russellsimmons #travelisthenewclub

If you had asked me a few years ago if I’d go swimming with whale sharks I would of slapped you for asking such a ridiculous question. Not even because of the whale sharks, I think they’re awesome but just being in the ocean… nah, weren’t for me. Fast forward a few years, you can’t keep me out. In all honesty the anxiety of being in open water still exist within me (very much so), but I’m learning to just go with it. So, my brothers and sisters, vow with me to NEVER let fear and anxiety prevent us from being great! Join me on this journey of self improvement, facing fears and becoming the best damn you, you can be. The experiences I’ve found myself in through my adventures over the years have allowed me to challenge myself mentally and psychically, sometimes you just gotta take that leap in order to fly. S/O to my homie, the incredible photographer @tristankermode who captured this moment. This dude is so ridiculously talented I genuinely can’t wait for you all to see what he creates with all this content. We started this trip as strangers but ended as good friends, looking to the next adventure 🙏🏾🙌🏾

*Is It Me or Is It Them?* ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Imagine being denied an opportunity not for the colour of your skin but for the average colour of your AUDIENCE'S skin? These stories that I tell you aren't hearsay. These are first-person, lived experiences. A couple of years ago, I pitched @buergenstockresort. And well…just swipe to see the synopsis of our email conversation. My content, engagement and YOUR eagerness to spend Black dollars was completely overlooked. "After careful consideration, we decided not to f*** with your Black asses BUT when we do, we will be sure to contact you 🙂" was how it read to me. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I also share this to show some of my new White supporters that when Black people complain about discrimination, we aren't pulling it out of our asses. I struggled for a long time dealing with a lack of opportunity for a gift of photography that I thought I possessed. I wrestled with the concepts of not being good enough and not being able to compete with anyone White (ESPECIALLY as one of the RARE Black male travel influencers). Every time that I post, the goal is to show MY perspective of the travel world to THE WORLD through beautiful pictures. But for the longest time, I could ONLY tap into the Black social pages no matter what I did. But these pages supported me and my following grew to be predominately Black people. Over the last few days, the shares, follows and engagement of my account from White people and other races has been amazing to see though.  So, thank you and let's keep this momentum going! ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ By the way, I never did get a response from @buergenstockresort so that they could clarify what their discriminatory and racist reasoning meant. They left me on "read". But, if @buergenstockresorts reading this, then the reason why my target demographics never matched yours is…well…because you see, the way racism in social media is set up, it's the so-called algorithm that's preventing me from being seen by the very White people that you wish made up most of my 56K+ follower count. But since @buergenstockresort wouldn't get back to me, maybe you'll have a better chance at getting a response if you ask them what they meant. 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Happy Sunday
