About this listen

This episode explores the multifaceted nature of Black travel, highlighting its evolution from a means of survival during segregation to a powerful force for diaspora strategy, cultural diplomacy, and economic self-determination in the present day. It discusses how historical tools, such as The Green Book, provided essential infrastructure, while modern initiatives, like Ghana's Year of Return, foster ancestral reconnection and generate significant revenue. The text also examines the growth of the Black Travel Movement as an entrepreneurial sector, emphasizing its role in building diaspora networks and channeling wealth into Black communities through tourism and investment, ultimately positioning travel as a critical act of sovereign positioning on the global stage.
