What collaborations have boosted Mercedes Jackson's presence in the travel content space?

I focus on sharing what I’m doing now, rather than listing every brand by name, but I can walk you through the types of collaborations that have really boosted my presence in travel.

• Hotel and resort stays (domestic and international) in exchange for storytelling content, reels, and photography
• Restaurants and food experiences that let me showcase local cuisines
• Tour and activity providers (tours, unique experiences, attractions) that align with solo, women, and Black travel storytelling
• Educational products of my own, like my travel ebook, email contact list, and my free travel webinar, which position me as a resource, not just a traveler

These partnerships work because they all feed back into clear, niche travel storytelling and consistent, useful content.

Is there a specific kind of collaboration you’re most curious about (hotels, tourism boards, activities, or something else)?
