URBAN FLIGHT COLLECTIVE EVENTS
Urban Flight Collective is dedicated to connecting the diaspora through immersive group trips across Africa and fostering a strong community within the black travel community.

What Our Community Is Saying
"Having a black travel community is important is because… Not only does it provide us with a sense of comfort and belonging, but it also allows us to share and learn from each other’s experiences. We can discuss travel recommendations, unique challenges, and also celebrate the joy of our shared journeys. Plus, it’s always more fun when we engage and converse as a community. We GET EACH OTHER!!!"
Dorcas
"Creating a black travel community means having people in my network that experience similar travel experiences to me. I love learning from others that look like me and have broken certain barriers in the travel space and just have people I can look up to!"
Fatima
"Having a black travel community is important because representation is a must. We need to know that there are people who look like us that are doing the same or similar things. Or doing things that we want to do but might have apprehensions about. We need those spaces to not only celebrate each other but also as a place of understanding for things that only we face and can relate to. To know that we go beyond our own neighborhoods and belong in these spaces that have not always been created for us. Plus we are all amazingly talented in our own ways and I love the support and how we show up for each other in so many ways. I couldn’t see myself belonging to any other community "
Jadira
"Representation is everything! So having a black community space of like minded individuals who look like me and also love to travel is quite empowering and motivating. It’s important for us to see each other doing amazing things and also for us to share our experiences and support each other, whether it’s challenges we have as black travelers, encountering racism or micro aggressions or sharing positive experiences that we all can benefit from. Plus connecting with other black travelers can lead to valuable networking opportunities, from collaborations to sharing tips and business advice to making lasting friendships. "
