To see the world is to understand people and to see things from a different perspective. Unfortunately, this grace and understanding is not always afforded to Black people, especially black women who travel.
For this episode, we sat down with host of ‘Can We Talk About It’ podcast, Charmaine to unpack the myriad of experiences she’s had whilst travelling. From passport privilege to feeling safe, we talk about it all.
Keep up with Charmaine and all she’s up to:

Surprise!!!
On this very special bonus episode, we are excited to be coming to you live from Portimão, Portugal where we got to experience the 3-day Afro Nation Festival! What an experience! We delve into the process of organising ourselves for the festival, where to stay for the Afro Nation Festival, what to expect, what surprised us, what we were glad to see and if it’s something we would recommend.
From Uncle Waffles leaving us speechless, to Tyler ICU getting us to dance til’ our feet hurt, Major League Djz bringing errrbody on the stage with them, seeing Tyla perform ‘Water’ in a full-circle moment to Asake and his fire gun - we had a tiiiiiiime!! Being in a long-distance friendship, we do not take it for granted that we got to do this ‘first’ as friends - a memory that we will cherish for life.
We are also excited to announce that we have officially joined the BlakCast Podcast Network which is part of the iHeart Podcast Network family - making this special episode that much sweeter!
Tune in to hear all our thoughts and sentiments.
