Navigating White Spaces In Our Travels with Anthony and Marlie Love of Traveling While Black

With the state of the country after this most recent election, navigating white spaces throughout our travels is front of mind more than ever. I think by now most of us understand the US for what it is, but there's nothing like updated statistics as a reminder that Black Americans have quite the unique experience in the country we call home. This week I'm joined by Anthony and Marlie Love to discuss how they use their platform Traveling While Black (CHECK THEM OUT ON FOX SOUL!!) to highlight Black history (or the lack there of) and their current experiences as Black travelers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. They use practical metrics such as the number of Black people seen, visibility of signs of inclusion, quality of the drive, and overall comfortability for Black people in a destination to inform viewers of what they can expect should they venture to visit. Tune in.
