Finally a travel space where Black women see themselves at the center
Travel isn’t just about checking off destinations. It’s about finding new pieces of ourselves along the way. For Black women, our journey inherently comes with layers: caring for others first, pushing through struggle, and learning to navigate spaces that weren’t built with us in mind. But here’s the truth—travel is where we get to rewrite that story. Every trip is a chance to see the world and see yourself more clearly. The Truth Traveller exists to celebrate our stories and to make sure you’re you’re traveling with intention, joy, and freedom.
Explore cities, countries, and landmarks that every traveler should experience at least once through a lens that centers Black women’s joy, safety, and discovery. We go where beauty, history, and energy align.
Take a photo at the Bean in Chicago, wander through the greatest museums of New York City, go on an adventurous safari in Kenya, or dance through the sun-drenched streets of Havana. We share destinations that are very much bucket list–worthy. We’ll tell you about our favorite neighborhoods, popular attractions, and hidden gems we learn from locals, and we give it to you straight so you can plan the trips of a lifetime and move with confidence and ease once you arrive.
Seeing the world is one thing, but feeling seen while doing it? That’s everything.

In My Own Words
Travel has never been just about the destination for me. It’s where I hear myself most clearly and where my independence explodes. When I’m away from everything familiar, I have nothing but time and space to ask myself the real questions. I take more notice of what I actually enjoy, what I’ve outgrown, and what I’ve been holding on to. With every new destination, I find myself thinking about the version of me I imagined years ago, the life I thought I’d have by now, and realizing how much of my current life, especially travel, has expanded beyond anything I could have planned. Life doesn’t look the way I expected, but in many ways, it’s stronger, fuller, and more honest.
Travel has a way of holding up a mirror and showing me how I move through the world, what I tolerate, what I desire, and where I still need to trust myself more. In quiet moments and moments of chaos of navigating new places, I constantly return to the same truth: I know myself better than I think I do. These reflections don’t always come with perfect or neat answers, but they leave me with something more valuable—a deeper sense of clarity, a little more softness, and the courage to keep choosing a life that feels good to me, even if it looks different than I once imagined.

Here’s What Everyone Is Loving
Delicious Food
Street food or fine dining—it doesn’t matter. To us, traveling is discovering the flavors that make a place unique and unforgettable. We love stumbling upon Black-owned spots across the nation, local gems abroad, and hometown Richmond, Virginia favorites. We’re serving real recommendations for foodies on the go.
We highlight places where the history, hustle, and the heart of a city show up on the plate. But our love for food doesn’t stop at where we dine. We’re adventurous enough to take a Guatemalan cooking class and curious enough to explore chocolate factories in Seattle. If that’s not enough, we’ll even encourage you to try hot dog–flavored ice cream in Chicago or slurp conch pistols in The Bahamas—at least once.
Is Morocco safe for solo female travelers? The answer is yes with a caveat. I felt safe walking through Marrakech, even at night, but my experience in the souks was a bit of a different story. Here’s what you should know before you go.
