Introducing: Global Black Diaspora History & Culture Inspired Adventures on Adventurely
America is hurting right now, but a shimmer of hope in this turbulent time, is that America is also learning right now.
Over the past week, it’s been reported by news outlets around that world that book sales on Black history, racial discrimination and anti-racism are surging- even selling out, and for good reason. The issues being dealt with in America right now around racism require a deep understanding of Black history, which has far reaching, and complex roots way beyond what we’re usually taught in American History books.
With that in mind, we’re excited to support even more exposure and engagement in Black History, now through travel, with our launch yesterday of the “Global Black Diaspora History & Culture Inspired Adventures” collection on Adventurely.
Curated experiences in the collection include exploring the Historic Center of Bahia Brazil: a Brazilian State with the largest African community in the world outside of Africa, and home to first African slave market in the new world; exploring the wildly overlooked pyramids of Sudan which encompass 250 pyramids (more than Egypt) dating back to 2500 years ago in Ancient Nubia; exploring Trinidad’s Carnival - the annual, multi-day celebration with a compelling history rooted in uprisings by Afro-Trinidadians in the late 1800’s when European Colonizers banned them from playing drums; and many more adventures and experiences.
In a further long-term commitment to Black travelers, we also launched the #BeyondBlackSquares initiative - a social impact initiative we designed to create meaningful conversations and content around travel diversity with travel industry corporate leaders, to foster vested industry commitments in support of the needs of Black Travelers.
