As we move along with my Black-owned business tour, I took a weekend trip to Boston and Martha’s Vineyard. I’ve been to Boston before as a teenager and I thought it would be a good idea to go back and see what it was like as an adult. Martha’s Vineyard was very different and I needed to see what the “hype” was as a first time goer. Check out my list of places I went to. The food and ambiance will not dissapoint!

I had been to NOLA before for National Urban League Conference, but the vibe at Essence Fest was something different. It was truly a reunion with people from all walks of life that came together for the one event that can possibly change their lives. I grew up reading Essence and very aware of what the magazine brings to our community.

Bali is one of the most popular destinations in Indonesia and there is a good reason why. Bali beaches are perfect for sunbathing and surfing, has beautiful hikes, friendly locals on Bali, and super affordable.

The holidays are over and the year is off to a fresh new start.

I spent my holidays traveling to Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. The Northwest was very different to travel to. Some may wonder why go? Well, why not? Yes, we traveled from one cold state to another. Why didn't we go somewhere warm?
