The Truth Traveller
The truth starts with you—we just help you go further
a travel space where Black women see themselves at the center
Travel isn’t just about checking off destinations. It’s about finding new pieces of ourselves along the way. For Black women, our journey inherently comes with layers: caring for others first, pushing through struggle, and learning to navigate spaces that weren’t built with us in mind. But here’s the truth—travel is where we get to rewrite that story. Every trip is a chance to see the world and see yourself more clearly. The Truth Traveller exists to celebrate our stories and to make sure you’re you’re traveling with intention, joy, and freedom.
Iconic Destinations
Explore cities, countries, and landmarks that every traveler should experience at least once through a lens that centers Black women’s joy, safety, and discovery. We go where beauty, history, and energy align.
Take a photo at the Bean in Chicago, wander through the greatest museums of New York City, hit up Pike Place Market for artisan goods in Seattle, or dance through the sun-drenched streets Havana, Cuba. We share destinations that are very much bucket list–worthy. We’ll tell you about our favorite neighborhoods, popular attractions, and hidden gems we learn from locals, and we give it to you straight so you can plan the trips of a lifetime and move with confidence and ease once you arrive.
Seeing the world is one thing, but feeling seen while doing it? That’s everything.
Your next adventure starts
Travel looks different when we see ourselves in the story. Explore some of our favorite guides, created to help you build your next trip with intention and joy.
-
The Bahamas
Charming locals, food with robust flavor, and crystal clear beaches all make Nassau the brilliant vacation destination that it is.
-
Guatemala
Home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the city of Antigua, Guatemala is both simple and complex. Earthy and reverential. Rugged and delicate.

Colombia
Colombia welcomes you with open arms, and you don’t have to look very hard to find a friend or a few. There’s so much to discover and the locals don’t mind helping you do it.
Posh Stays
Luxury is our birthright, and we don’t gatekeep here. Find your next chic hotel, stylish Airbnb, or spa-worthy stay—all vetted with intention, comfort, and aesthetics in mind.
We love a beachfront boutique hotel, or a conveniently located, design-forward apartment in the city, or a quiet retreat in the mountains. We go for accommodations that feel like a vibe, not just somewhere to stay. Our reviews show you photos, but we also care to tell you about how the space made us feel, the services we received, the neighborhood it’s in and important amenities, and ultimately whether it’s truly worth your time and money. Where you rest should feel just as good as where you roam.

Delicious Food
Street food or fine dining—it doesn’t matter. To us, traveling is discovering the flavors that make a place unique and unforgettable. We love stumbling upon Black-owned spots across the nation, local gems abroad, and hometown Richmond, Virginia favorites. We’re serving real recommendations for foodies on the go.
We highlight places where the history, hustle, and the heart of a city show up on the plate. But our love for food doesn’t stop at where we dine. We’re adventurous enough to take a Guatemalan cooking class and curious enough to explore chocolate factories in Seattle. If that’s not enough, we’ll even encourage you to try hot dog–flavored ice cream in Chicago or slurp conch pistols in The Bahamas—at least once.
Mister O1 is the product of a dream that started with an Italian visa and a whole lot of passion. Creating signature star pizzas with ingredients like truffle oil, burrata, spicy honey, and imported Italian meats, you’re certainly in for a unique and delicious treat. Mister O1 now has multiple locations in Miami, and if you’re in Atlanta, there’s a spot in Buckhead that’s absolutely worth the trip.
