In this episode we look at a new company called Black In
that’s building tours to celebrate Black history and support Black-owned
businesses in each destination. Our guests are the founders of Black
In: Martinique Lewis, the creator of ABC Travel Greenbook and the
president of the Black Travel Alliance, and Ashley Company, the owner of
Jelani Travel.
Tours editor Nicole Edenedo
leads the discussion about Black In, how the tours are created and why.
In the second half of the episode, we discuss where the travel industry
is overall in terms of diversity programs and inclusion efforts — and
what it could or should do next.
