We can’t believe how fast this year is flying by! In just Q1, we’ve already brought you over 150 events and that’s with us skipping January. One thing is clear: the culture doesn’t stop year-round, and based on your messages when we missed a month… neither can we lol .
This month, we’re showing up on 5 out of 6 continents, and everything looks absolutely incredible! We’re especially excited for Garifuna Settlement Day in Honduras, and we encourage you to take a deeper dive into this rich and vibrant Black community throughout Central America here.
As for us, we’ll be on the move touching down in Paris (Yall keep asking for the guide, and you're going to get it) , Curaçao ( For a Blackity Black celebration), and even out at sea with Festival at Sea, the oldest African American cruising experience happening in July! We don't play about celebrating Black events and supporting Black-owned businesses every step of the way. Stay tapped in so you can discover, support, and book these experiences too.
We heard your feedback loud and clear, so moving forward, events will be organized both chronologically and by continent, making it even easier for you to find your next experience wherever you are in the world. Spring is officially here, and the lineup is reflecting that energy. So take a look, pick a few, and most importantly enjoy the culture!
