Melanin Travels Magic

At the height the #blacktravellersmovement, and the need for African Caribbean diaspora to uncover their history and culture, I've founded Melanin Travels Magic (MTM) to help the Black diaspora to facilitate their discovery of other black Cultures (African or Caribbean) via traveling experience like I've done in the last 5 years traveling 20 countries in either solo or group trips. MTM is the response to the infamous question: Where are all the Black Millennials and Gen Z Travellers traveling to? MTM is a black-owned travel agency to connect black travelers to exciting traveling destinations and enlightened their knowledge, experience, and discovery of the diversity in the culture of the black diaspora worldwide.
