Just Dropped: The Latest on the Blog
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.
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.
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.
Travel Philosophy
Travel is about reaching for new and different experiences that transform and elevate who we are. Black women have long been defined by our capacity to care for and prioritize others, to exhibit resilience in the face of struggle, and to find identity in assimilation. In many ways, Black women have transcended stereotypes and continue to eclipse societal ideas in a way that allows us to solely define who we are beyond barriers. Traveling, whether in girl groups or solo, is just one medium by which Black women are discovering the essence of who we are.

Best Overall City: Chicago
I visited Chicago once as a child and then not again until I was an adult. Next to Los Angeles, I have visited Chicago the most and have fallen in love more every time. It easily has the best skyline of all US cities, most hospitable locals, delicious food reminiscent of southern dining, and summertime Chi is incomparable.

Best Food City: New Orleans
This is not a shocker to any foodie. New Orleans is the first place I traveled solo and will always have a special place in my heart for that reason. Over several trips, I’ve tried nearly twenty restaurants that serve up hearty, made-with-love dishes that are so deeply rooted in tradition and Blackness.

Most Serendipitous City: New York
As a southern belle, New York had to grow on me the same way Los Angeles did. The thing about this city is that you don’t have to find things to do. They just sort of—come to you. You can simply walk and drop into almost any theater, museum, restaurant, or even a library and be glad you decided to do so on a whim.

Best City for Local Shopping: Seattle
I should say that I’m not really a shopper when I travel, but Seattle is the city that I made the most purchases of any destination. Artisan goods are easily found everywhere, which gives the city such local charm. I like to know that I own a one of one that was made with love. Pike Place Market is ideal for this kind of thing.
Sacco Pizza is a classic no-nonsense Italian pizzeria where I had two slices and a Coke for about $10 after a night at the theater. It’s the kind of New York establishment that reminds you an inexpensive meal can feel like heaven when you need it most and probably just a few steps away from wherever you might find yourself in the city.
