Summary

Today's History Story: Staying Safe While Traveling Traveling wasn't always accessible to our ancestors. The Great Migration allowed many Black individuals to leave the South and move to urban areas. Over time, leisure travel became common among Black people, facilitated by resources like The Green Book, offering opportunities to break free from oppression and to discover the interconnectedness of Black communities nationwide. Today, more Black Americans are traveling abroad to connect with dispersed roots, including our guest, PushBlack’s very own Briona Lamback. Along with being a valued senior writer on our Content team, Briona is an award-winning journalist and entrepreneur. She’s the founder of Buoyant Travel, which she created with the following principles in mind: economics, joy, and Black travel as a key to Black freedom.
