Ashley McDonough

A shley McDonough, a 25-year-old entrepreneur and visionary, made history in the travel industry for the global Black community. She not only built a global community for travelers of all backgrounds but created the world’s first app, Melanin on the Map, dedicated to connecting people of color. It also provides a platform for travel professionals to build their own businesses as an income generation stream. TrooRa Magazine, intrigued by this new venture, shares Ashley’s story.
