THE COLLECTIVE

Founded in the summer of 2020, The Collective is a global group of Black travel writers and reporters, lifestyle and hospitality publicists, magazine owners, TV personalities, and industry leaders who came together to navigate through the increased attention, both authentic and performative, that we received as America's new racial awakening hit the travel industry. Many of us remain the sole face of color on industry press trips, masthead, and panels and our regular meetings are a place for open and real dialogue on how we can amplify diverse Black voices and stories. The Collective serves as space for both seasoned professionals and those new to the industry, please reach out if you would like to join, or complete this form if you would like to work with us.
