"With factors like the Black travel movement and millennial travelers driving the industry it can only change for the better! Although numbers don't lie, travel brands and tourism boards still haven't caught the wave of diversity and it's immensely frustrating! Tired of not seeing ourselves reflected when we look at ads and promotions knowing our travel dollars matter makes us take action and affect change!"
