The Black Travel Movement Blogger Community is a special place for color travel bloggers to post links to their travel blogs and articles to share with the Black Travel Movement community. In response to representing black people in the travel circle, black travelers have established a presence in the market - representing authenticity and providing opportunities for black travelers.
This group of black travelers has taken the collective name of the Black Travel Movement (BTM). Aware of social mobilization and critical race theory, the nine interviews were conducted to better understand the impact BTM leaders have on their quest for social change. As a result of three urgent themes: Catalysis led to self-efficacy, awareness led to awareness-raising, and community activation led to resource mobilization. As our interviews with BTM leaders show, discrimination, prejudice, racism, and inequality are everywhere and continue to create uncivilized and toxic tourist experiences and scenes for black and colored people. However, the results reveal a cyclical model that raises hopes through activity and community mobilization.
Support Black Excellence and Diversity throughout the year
That is the time of year. Americans spend 28 or 29 days in February commemorating the accomplishments of black Americans in all fields, from citizens to technology. But instead of a month to support a black-owned business - let's face it, it should be a year-long effort - 24/7 and all 365 days. We must always recommend and support black and minority-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who move us forward. These are the people who impress me. Therefore, it is one of the 2021 goals to be actively involved and to present prominent travelers and leaders throughout the year.
And to end this year's good news, I would like to urge anyone not to check out the February issue of Travel + Leisure for a special feature on the emergence of the Black Travel Movement in the last ten years. Wants I am thrilled to see that two articles related to Kenya - my first experience traveling to Africa and traveling to Kenya during a global pandemic - are presented as part of this inspiring digital content package. But more importantly, it is amazing to see letters covering the black travel journalists and writers' industry from different angles.
It's even more impressive to see Daniel Point Dodger as a guest editor of the Black Travel Movement's features, as well as its articles, which include "why, according to influence, issues related to the Black Travel Movement." It's always fun to follow Travis Lewis on a world tour on Instagram, but his article, "Race in the Luxury Travel Industry Is a Problem - Here's How to Fix It," And it alleviates fears of a shortage of brown people. ; Something that made me realize that I have been working in the industry for many years. All of these stories aim to highlight the importance and need for diversity in the travel industry.
Whether you travel or not, look for black and brown authors, photographers, business owners, tour operators, etc., when planning a future trip, or even if you share unique experiences, such as award-winning inspiration. Looking for Winner Photographer and Writer Lola Ekenmide Extreme.
This is a move to consider supporting another group and initiative. The black travel media and this group of people just released The Blacklist. This growing list serves as a reminder to support travel inspiration and black and minority property businesses. Again, please promote the black and minority-owned business and make suggestions, not only this month but throughout the year, for your personal growth. Find other diverse voices as well.
