Planning Travel While Black
When you're Black, trip planning looks different. Before you book, you're asking questions that TripAdvisor, Google Maps, and Yelp can't answer:
"Does this destination offer options for us or do they only cater to a certain demographic?"
"What type of music do they play here and what’s the vibe?"
"Will we be welcomed at this restaurant?"
Mainstream platforms lack cultural context
Mainstream platforms have zero cultural context. The information exists — in community Facebook groups, buried TikTok comments, DMs between friends — but it's invisible when you need it most.
