Hola from Zihuatanejo! It’s been a minute, so I thought it was time to drop a sound bite from the road.
Listen in (button above) to find out where I’ve been, some recommendations for Black history month, what’s inspiring me, and what’s brewing on the horizon.
I’ve included all mentioned links below.

What’s Inspiring Me
Read, Write & Create - a sanctuary for BIPOC writers created by Lori Tharps. (Here’s my interview with Lori on the Globetrotter Lounge podcast.)
I highly recommend the book From Scratch – the author reads it on Audible. Afterwards you can watch the Netflix version of the story.
Tembi Locke - author, producer, actress, and more. (Loved her interview on Lori’s podcast).
Your Elusive Creative Genius - a TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Museo Frida Kahlo - all things Frida.
Coming Up

Get Social
Is there anything specific you’d like to learn from me or have me discuss? Some examples: genealogy, using ancestry to find people, planning DNA travel, health and travel, etc. I may add some new parts to this newsletter, and I’m open to ideas and requests. Let me know in the comments. 🙏🏾
