For decades, travel was often viewed as an exclusive luxury—one that didn’t always feel accessible to Black travelers. However, Black women have challenged this notion, built their own lanes, and created inclusive communities for travelers like us.
Here are a few of the trailblazers who have reshaped the travel landscape:
Jessica Nabongo – The First Black Woman to Travel to Every Country
Jessica Nabongo made history as the first Black woman to visit all 195 countries, proving that the world truly belongs to us. She continues to inspire Black travelers to break boundaries, embrace adventure, and step outside their comfort zones. Click here to read the National Geographic article.
Evita Robinson – Founder of Nomadness Travel Tribe
Evita Robinson created Nomadness Travel Tribe, an online community for Black travelers that has since grown into a global movement. She’s been at the forefront of changing the narrative around Black travel and making sure that we are seen and celebrated in the industry.
Zim Ugochukwu – Founder of Travel Noire
Zim Ugochukwu launched Travel Noire, a digital platform that highlights Black travel experiences and connects travelers with valuable resources. Through her work, she has helped redefine luxury and adventure for Black millennial travelers.
These pioneers (along with many others) have paved the way for Black travelers to explore fearlessly, build businesses, and create global communities.
Why Travel is a Powerful Form of Self-Care for Black Women
Beyond adventure and exploration, travel is one of the most powerful forms of self-care. It allows us to:
Expand Our Horizons – Experiencing new cultures broadens our perspectives and helps us see the world through a fresh lens.
Prioritize Rest & Rejuvenation – Taking a break from daily responsibilities allows us to reset and return stronger.
Build Community & Sisterhood – Group travel fosters deep connections and strengthens bonds among like-minded women.
Reclaim Joy & Freedom – Exploring the world on our own terms is an act of self-love and empowerment.
Whether it’s a solo retreat, a sisterhood getaway, or a wellness vacation, Black women are reclaiming travel as an essential tool for healing, joy, and personal growth.
