Enriching Black Women One Global Experience at a Time Meet Danny, The Woman Behind the Black Girls Travel Too Community

WRITTEN BY: KEVIN JAMES JEFFERY

N amed the 2022 Best Black Travel Group by Travel Noire, Black Girls Travel Too (BGTT) aims to show Black girls that they are deserving of a jet-setting lifestyle and pages of passport stamps. What began as an Instagram passion project by travel lover Danielle (aka Danny) Rivers- Mitchell is now a fast- growing business that caters to young women of color. Danny’s love for travel and commitment to helping other women of color see the world started in Mobile, Alabama. With many underserved and overlooked communities throughout the port city, not many people from Mobile have aspirations to stray off the beaten path. But for Danny, all it took was a single field trip to Washington, DC with her peers to catch the travel bug. She recalled that it was like going to London for a Black, marginalized youth from Mobile, AL.
