Anita describes the diversity of the Black diaspora communities in London and then reflects on navigating her East African and Caribbean identities while growing up in Britain. She also shares her observations on Blackness in the U.S. vs. the U.K. and opens up about her experiences with anti-Blackness in Europe. Anita then talks about her passion for Egypt, her travels there, and her decision to get married in Nubia. She also talks about her trips back to Haiti and the Seychelles, reflects on reconnecting with her heritage, and offers tips for visiting the Seychelles. Anita then talks about her passion for telling Afro-Indigenous and global Black diaspora stories and shares the backstory of founding the Black Travel Summit. She explains what you can expect at the upcoming Black Travel Summit, and then reflects on the impact travel has had on her as a person and shares tips for Black travelers just starting out.
