Mwasi Healing & Restoration Center is a Black-owned riad just outside the medina of Marrakech, offering spacious rooms, a full spa and hammam, on-site dining, and quiet spaces to rest and reset. Created as a place of restoration and care, it’s a beautiful respite for Black travelers visiting Morocco.

If you’re planning a trip to Martha’s Vineyard, here’s what to know before you go, from where to stay and what to eat to how to actually spend your time on the island.

In Martha’s Vineyard, I spent my time on beaches, ambling around Oak Bluffs, eating whatever I could find, vibing around the Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse, and admiring the view at the Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook. This photo journal captures all those moments and more that defined my beautiful reset in Martha’s Vineyard.

If you’re trying to figure out what to wear on safari, the answer is probably less than you think. I packed one pair of pants, changed my tops, used laundry services at every camp, and still felt put together in every photo. Here’s exactly what I wore on safari and the packing list I’d use again.

After several days of tagine in Marrakech, I was ready for something different, and La Trattoria ended up being one of my favorite meals of the entire trip. Here’s what it’s like to eat at this beautiful garden restaurant in Marrakech.

Miami can be a beach trip, a food trip, a girls trip, or a solo reset, depending on how you plan it. Here’s my guide to where to stay, what to do, and where to eat in Miami.

Dar El Bacha ended up being one of the most beautiful and unexpected experiences I had in Marrakech. It’s part museum, part café, and part palace, and even if you don’t drink coffee, it’s worth visiting just to see the building and experience the atmosphere.

I took some of my favorite and best photos in Marrakech just walking. I would leave my riad on the way somewhere or nowhere in particular and just walk. This photo journal is a collection of some of those moments I captured.

This Atlas Mountains day trip from Marrakech includes a camel ride, visits to Berber villages, an argan oil collective, and a hike to a waterfall in Imlil, all set against some of the most beautiful landscapes in Morocco.

If it’s your first time in Marrakech, these are the places, experiences, and neighborhoods I recommend adding to your itinerary, from the souks and palaces to riads, hammams, and rooftop dinners.

In Morocco, a weaver tied a red thread around my left wrist and a blue one around my right. I wasn’t sure what it meant at the time, but I knew a bit about the Chinese Red String Theory and later learned that the red string appears in cultures all over the world. It symbolizes protection, fate, blessing, and connection. A small moment in a Moroccan market helped me understand a much larger story about the shared human desire to feel guided and protected.

Essaouira is one of the best day trips from Marrakech and a complete change of pace from “The Red City.” This coastal city is washed in a beautiful cobalt blue that makes for stunning pictures. I’m always down for a beach hang, shopping and delicious food, and Essaouira was the perfect place for that. Here’s how to get there, what to see, and how to plan your day.

Wondering what to wear in Morocco as a woman? Here’s what I packed, what I wore, and what helped me feel comfortable and respectful in Morocco, especially as a solo female traveler.

Essaouira was the most beautiful pause and midpoint on my trip to Morocco. After three hectic and intense days in Marrakech, I wanted a day to slow down before continuing with the rest of my trip, and what better place to do that than a surreal coastal town? This photo journal captures Morocco’s Atlantic coast, from the famous blue boats in the port to the charming and picturesque inside of the medina.

Marrakech is vibrant, busy, and unlike anywhere else I’ve traveled. Before you go, it helps to understand how the medina works, why cash is essential, where to stay, and how to move through the city with confidence. Here’s what to know before traveling to Marrakech for the first time.

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.

In the summer of 2017, I took my first solo trip to New Orleans and realized my own freedom. Travel began as a personal goal and quickly became a deeper exploration of autonomy, fearlessness, and what it means to live on my own terms. That trip marked the first time I understood freedom not as escape, but as a way of being and a manifestation of who I already was .

I went on safari expecting incredible wildlife sightings. I didn’t expect so many life lessons to surface. You’re, of course, waiting patiently for animals to appear, but the experience is more than just beautiful photographs.

In this article, I share eight life lessons about patience, timing, trust, boundaries, silence, and perspective that I didn’t expect to learn on safari.

In 2021, I visited SINGULAR DUALITY: ME CAN MAKE WE at Roberts Projects in Los Angeles, a solo exhibition by Amoako Boafo that immediately solidified him as one of my favorite contemporary artists.

Known for large-scale portraits of Black subjects, Boafo introduced shadow as a central element in this body of paintings, and through bold color, textured skin, and brilliantly captured emotion, the exhibition explores identity, duality, and psychological depth.
