Black Girls Travel Too
What started as an Instagram Account in January of 2015, has now become a black travel movement that has changed the lives of hundreds of women. A single field trip to Washington, DC sparked founder Dianelle Rivers-Mitchell’s passion for travel that would lead her to become a pioneer in the black travel movement, offering trips that “offer women the freedom to live up to no one’s expectations of our lives but our OWN.” Anyone else get goosebumps?
