❤️ to @thecatchmeifyoucan : “This interview with @huffpost is one of my most personal to date. Thank you to the amazing producer Jessica Blank for allowing me to discuss these issues. For the full video please visit: bit.ly/CMIYCxHuffPost. Many black travelers often ask me which countries are the safest for black people to travel to and I often respond by telling people that I have never felt as unsafe abroad as I have in the US. The full video touches on just a few incidents that I’ve had with racial microagressions in the US but there are several more I could discuss. When watching this video, please remember these are my lived experiences and I am sharing them to shine a light on these issues. Through my travels the most important thing that I have learned is that most people are good. The hurdles that I dealt with have never stopped me or made me think twice about places I travel to. Yes, I’ve experienced racism outside of America, but the only place the a police officer has put a gun in my face at point blank range is in the US. Yesterday on my flight back to the US I wept for Nia Wilson because her death brought about a very real awareness of not only the fragility of life but the simple fact that we are not safe anywhere in this country. Light and love to her family, to those fighting for our voices to be heard and for all of us who are mourning her death.” #50shadesofblack #travelnoire #blackwomentravel #veryblack
