I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, and I thought I had seen it all—until I moved to China. From being told I wasn’t ‘Black enough’ in Ethiopia to people offering me money for my hair in India, my journey as a Black traveler has been full of shocking moments. But nothing surprised me more than when a student in China licked my arm because they thought I was made of chocolate! That experience led me to create a community for Black expats in China, which eventually inspired me to build Culture Travels Magazine. In this video, I share my wildest travel stories and how they shaped my mission to amplify Black travel culture worldwide. Have you ever had a crazy travel moment? Let’s talk in the comments!

Allowing JOY to exude from the inside out is much more valuable than HAPPINESS these days and here’s why…⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It’s been strange to claim true ‘happiness’ with all that has happened this year (what is true happiness anyway?). This is because happiness hasn’t been super consistent or reliable. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For me, finding joy during random moments has been a lot more attainable and realistic (I am sure this is true for a lot of you as well). ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Being joyful is a reminder that internal peace and strength are much more powerful to cultivate during this time than the idea that we should be happy just because it’s a positive emotion. When you take the emotion out of it you realize the emptiness of just claiming happiness. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When we experience joy, we allow ourselves to feel proud of who we are and what we have accomplished even if it may not seem like much these days. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Happiness fades because it can be based on things like the external validation of being around people, going places, and having tangible items. Because these aspects of happiness are difficult to gain access to these days, it’s important to seek joy.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In doing so, we will be able to be more grateful for where we currently are in life and also be proud of who we are becoming. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In your opinion, what's the difference between happiness and joy and which is more important to you? ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #liveauthentic #blackexpats #seekjoy #happinesscomesfromwithin #themountainiscalling #greatnorthcollective #mindthemountains #coloradoliving #Coloradoblogger⁠⠀ #firestartersessions #liveyourdreams #manifestingmindset⁠⠀ #successmindset #livingmybestlife #innerhealing⁠⠀ #makeyourselfapriority #positiveselftalk⁠⠀ #happythoughts⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ (at Aspen, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjasTJpIwH/?igshid=1kv4ndzr16bg1
