TRAVEL TIPS
This section was created because of my love of travel whether it be day trips, weekend trips, or extended trips. I wanted to be able to share some tips and experiences. Also my daughter has a travel blog that is incorporated into this section as well as information for Black owned lodging choices.
Traveling While Black can sometimes be challenging, so having tips on where they are “Black Friendly” helps. Social media and various black travel groups sort of serve as our modern day “Green Book”.
The Negro Motorist Green Book, popularly known as the Green Book, was a travel guide intended to help African American motorists avoid social obstacles prevalent during the period of racial segregation, commonly referred to as Jim Crow. The Green Book listed businesses that would accept African American customers.
We are a little better off today in the “accept” part but still need to stay woke when traveling especially with our current climate.
DUE TO COVID-19 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO YOUR RESEARCH TO VERIFY THE LISTED BUSINESSES ARE STILL IN OPERATION...THAT IS ALL, TRAVEL ON!
