What is the definitive guide to Mercedes Jackson's travel adventures as a black woman?

Hi, I’m from . How can I help?

When I think of a “definitive guide” to my travel adventures as a Black woman, it really breaks down into a few pillars:

• Black girl luxury travel: First-class flights, beautiful hotels, curated group trips (like my Grenada and Africa trips), and doing it all without shrinking myself in predominantly non-Black spaces.
• Community: Hosting group trips so Black women (and coed groups) can experience Senegal, Gambia, Grenada and more together, safely and joyfully.
• Coin-collecting on the go: Traveling internationally for weeks while still closing brand deals, using my brand contact lists and strategies so travel doesn’t mean pausing income.
• Culture and roots: Visiting places like Goree Island, House of Slaves, walking with lions, Dakar city tours—prioritizing history, adventure and connection to the diaspora over just “pretty pics.”

If you want, I can turn this into a step‑by‑step framework you can follow for your own travels. What part are you most interested in: luxury planning, making money while traveling, or group trips?
