Few people realize it, but as a black person, our skin color is an integral part of our travel experience. I really started realizing it when I traveled solo for a year.

Since I was getting more and more messages from readers asking advice about traveling as a black person, I decided to write a 200+ pages essay. I relate experiences black people in general go through when traveling. I share my own experiences, observations, and anecdotes. I also share experiences of fellow black travelers.

What you'll learn with this book

 

  • Why we tend to do our research on Google regarding potential racism in a given country before getting there
  • Why it seems like it takes longer for black people to go through immigration at the airport
  • Why in some areas of the world, people want to get a picture with us, just because we're black
  • Why our origins are sometimes questioned
  • Why we're the subjects of prejudices, each more ridiculous than the next (rapper, athlete, prostitute...)
  • What to expect when traveling solo as a black woman
  • Why traveling is not the same for African citizens
  • What to expect for black Westerners traveling on the African continent
  • Why when traveling, we greet other black people we run into outside, even if we don't know each other
