Travel is so important to perspective as a black person. It gives you more insight into your humanity, considering America strips you of it. I've lived on 3 continents, lived in 4 countries (Senegal being one of them) and 5 cities. Learned 5 languages. I traveled as a kid and adult, and now I get to take my children and husband. They've been everywhere and it's such a beautiful experience to share!
Thank you, I traveled a lot (Dakar as well) and that’s exactly how I feel, specially as a black man.
Same here. Lived: Continents(Europe, Australia, USA) cities (Austin, NYC, Prague, Barcelona, Melbourne, Berlin) I makes me so sad to see/hear other black people who are full grown adults who interact with the entirety of the world using the same lense of where they were born.
@@damd2999 gotta love Senegal! 🖤
@@JH-wl4yy yeah, but I never blame them because the marketed messaging in America is soooo strong. It's melatonin to the mind, especially to the fear-based black mentality.
Why do you have to be black for it to be important? U can’t just be a regular person? Why do you feel the need to be accepted by the white man? I’m just curious as a fellow person of color, help me understand your view of it, is it the obvious dark history of the white man once owning black folks that the need to get back at them or show them WE CAN DO WHAT YOU DO? Please I’d like your insight
I love how envy and Angela vibed with her. This was such an authentic interview. I smiled the whole time. I love her adventurous spirit ❤️ 🇿🇲
Respect to this sista but she's LYING...
She is not the 1st Black Woman in contemporary times to travel to every country.
It's a Black American woman named Woni Spotts who has been globally acknowledged for completing this journey.
100% agree...!!! I was smiling the whole time also. It's such a great interview...!!!
@@victoru918 It is also stated that she never visited Syria because of the internal conflict that going on in that country right now.
Except she’s a liar
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Mark Twain
Traveling to all 195 countries in this world....Now, this is goals! 🙌🏾❤
woni spotts did it first
Exactly Woni is the first Black Woman to do that... that's been known for years.
They are shameful in these lies.
@@victoru918 perhaps modern one
@@voiceofreason1373 No...
This female in this interview is LYING... and obtaining a claim she has not accomplished.
Woni Spotts is recorded in completing this journey just this last decade.
Type her name on goggle, but I know you won't b/c she's a Black American, and I can presumably assume you have an issue with Black Americans.
Just my conjecture.
Maybe they mean after 2000 this is the first BW to do it! It’s not a competition 🥱 You can still celebrate both
As a 43 year old black Jamaican woman who have been to 30 countries and my aim is to visit 50 before my fiftieth birthday ❤️ 🤔 she is my spirit animal 🥰🎯🎯 #sidenote in my experiences navigating the world travel is more about proximity than its about money 🎯 I live in Germany and it's very easier to navigate 🎯 when I was living in Jamaica it was much more difficult even though I made more money 🤷🏿♀️
That's great you've found encouragement in this woman's explorations but...
She is not the 1st Black Woman to travel to every nation/ country & territory. It's a Black American woman named Woni Spotts who has been acknowledged in this by completing this journey just this last decade. She's recognized and known for this achievement and has countless interviews and articles written about her especially one's in the UK.
@@victoru918 Its not about who did what first...you missed the point by a whole mile
@@victoru918 there is no proof
I am a black woman who travels frequently abroad with my family she is so right, some people ask question and stare because they are curious to learn about black people not to be racist ……. If you travel with an open mind you will have an amazing time👌🏾 Great interview 👏🏾
*Black
keep in mind in many of these coyntries they see two types of blacks. black immigrants from africa and black westerns from either england or america. and usually they can tell. so they tend to engage certain types of blacks. as they know american blacks have more to fier them than say one from ethiopia or anywhere in africa or asia
I visited Venice and some people were fine and I remember this one woman looked at me and made a sound of digust at my big afro. I'm sorry long prolonged stares and stern body language is not a good sign. You can tell when people are curious about you or you're being stared at with an aggressive attitude. Italians and Spaniards are very guilty of this and I've been to Barcelona as well and seen it. It's like dealing with white people in the US who rarely see black people and don't really want to. London and Paris are fine I much prefer to travel to multicultural cities or at least places people are half way decent about people who don't look like them. I'm not looking for the welcome wagon but hard stares are not necessary and I stare right back.
@@gerryo25 *Black
Haiti is one of the places us black should go since that was the first free country and we our the closest who still keep the African tradition... Haiti is full of beautiful places that the media doesn't show and the beaches are gorgeous . It's a lot of history there especially haiti helping some of these other country
I’ve been! My son is half Haitian so I stayed with his family in Petion-Ville.I tell everyone how blue the water is and how beautiful the architecture is. This was before the hurricane. I’d love to go back an explore more.
You do realize they’re kidnapping people there.
Unfortunately, you are making a generalized statement about African traditions. The continent of Africa is composed of 54 countries. Within each country is a diverse group of tribes, languages, customs, beliefs etc.
I am married to a Ghanaian who is from the Ga tribe. Our surname/last name is both Ghanaian & Hebrew. They are Hebrews who believe in God/ Yahweh. They left Egypt with Moses. Their customs, beliefs, traditions, foods reflect their Hebrew heritage. The paternal house is of the priesthood. Those that strayed away from God have become part of what is called a fetish. So, the belief & generalization that idol worship, voodoo, witchcraft, Ra, Horus, Hotep, or even Islam/Muslim is the "original" belief or religion of the continent of Africa is INCORRECT!
I have traveled to all 52 states by my 52nd birthday. While I was pursuing my doctorate, I studied abroad in Madrid, Spain for two weeks. Now, I am ready to travel to other countries and islands.
I am so happy to see all of these beautiful black women enjoying their lives and travelling the globe. I plan on a trip to Central America later this year and cannot wait!
who are all these black women traveling?
*Black
@@alp.9672 Look it up on RUclips...many black women are traveling and permanently leaving the United States (can't blame them)...
@@alp.9672 you want names?
I’m so intrigued about the travel safety piece. Not just as a woman but as a Black woman. Crazy how she said her worst experiences were in the US, but I can’t be surprised.
I just wanna know about safety in places like N Korea. The rest of the world, is pretty chill
@@antwanthorogood4921 It's not safe to travel to North Korea for US citizens. South Korea is okay.
She’s crazy if her worst experiences were in the US - clearly she doesn’t understand politics
@@sassymama527 if she’s been to all the countries, and she’s clearly ok, I want to know how she did it
@@antwanthorogood4921 She most likely did the "journalist" play. The requirements to get in N Korea are on the state department site. Not sure why anyone would want to go there lol.
I wouldn’t have ever known about this if it wasn’t for the breakfast club, pretty cool..gives me motivation
I’m not sure why due diligence wasn’t done at the breakfast club. Check out our sister: Woni Spotts.
Woni Spotts is the first woman to go to every country
yup, they also invite credit repair people too, i love it
Great interview! Her responses were so humble and inspiring. What a beautiful women inside and out.
Dìd she say Kenya as one of her favorite countries?
I'm from Nairobi 🇰🇪 Kenya
Good job breakfast club 👏
I remember her saying she used her Ugandan passport to get into countries where the American passport couldn't eg Arab countries
I followed her journey, it was amazing!
Wait you can’t go to Uganda with an American passport? I’ve never heard that before.
@@dee27206 My understanding of the comment is that you cannot get into Arab countries with an American passport?? Can you expound because I am perplexed.
@@dee27206 She didn’t say that! 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️ You misread!
@@intentionaltia9842 this lady spreading rumors and ish...
@@intentionaltia9842 Actually she did! Looks like either you misread, or read the comment AFTER it was edited! So 🙄🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ to you! 🙄🥴😤
An amazing comment she threw in there “African American culture is the most exported culture in the world”
Not every girl can rock the bald look. She looks 😍
I am almost 50, and spent majority of my life 'trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be in life'. After finding that life is not a destination, and started focusing on just being present, I found that all my life, whenever I'd travel, that was my zen, and happiness. What she has accomplished is what I've always been saying since I was in my 20's. Now, I'm going for it. Children are grown, so now I get to live my nomadic life.
I love it!!!! I just came back from a 18 day solo trip to Bali, Indonesia!!
How was it? I'm going there for my birthday! Solo as well.
@@annax1027 it was amazing!! Look on my RUclips page. I’ve posted a few videos about my trip!
Cool 😎 loved Bali, so magical!
She is very right about Senegal the country is beautiful was there for over a month during the pandemic in london last year was so inspired even set up a food store there. Travelling is soo freeing next week Monaco here I come . Summmer 2022 spending it in the Congo. Travelling opens your eyes and you see opportunities even in business you never thought possible. good on her 😍😍 love to see black women living their best life 🙏🏿 Travelling has changed my life .
Senegal speaks to my soul too. I love how (darkskin) people over there are proud and unapologetic of who they are.
My time in Dakar was mostly hostile. As soon as I started speaking with an “American” accent, mostly everyone I encountered wanted me to buy something. Most did not want to talk or build about anything…the vibe was very odd.
@@popdop4498 She downplayed it for her book I believe. A lot of people do not like Americans and Asian countries can be very racist towards black people
No Shade to anyone but BLACK IS SO BEAUTIFUL 🖤💯
We have no reason to be ashamed of that or hide away from it.
What’s the “no shade” for?🤦🏿♀️
@@intentionaltia9842 They are a colorist who only likes dark skin black people
This was a great interview. Definitely inspiring to see a black woman achieve such a feat and I love the shout outs she gave to Ghana ❤
*Black
It's a blessing to be able to see what our world has to offer! Good for her. That's my dream too
I literally smiled the entire interview. I love traveling and she is just a breath of fresh air!
Wow her top 5 must visit places included 3 of mines as well. Japan, Mexico and Cuba. I’ve only been to 37 countries so far my goal is 100. And she is so big on Senegal that’s probably the one African country I’m excited to visit the most. Never been to Africa or Southeast Asia or Middle East yet. But she is a legend in the travel game been following her on IG since 2017 when I got bitten by the “travel bug”. This was a fun interview to listen to. Hope it inspires a new generation of travelers to get out their and see the world! ✊🏾 we need more representation
Cuba is also in my top 3 ❤️❤️
I’m from senegal and people love coming here especially Americans. I know a few people who relocated to senegal after visiting. It’s truly an experience
@@oumouy.1862 If I was ever to move to Africa Senegal would be the place. Its funny I feel like it has become really popular but I do not know why?
My fave is def Kenyan 😍
Visit Ghana 🇬🇭
This Queen inspires me to travel like this one day 👑
To hear her speak about my Island and the fact that she wanna throw her party here is amazing!!! Big up vincy!!! 🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
Yessss.Oh my Goodness I was thinking there's no way she went to St.Vncent ,when I saw the thumbnail.Watching the interview and then she mentions S.V.G....I AM SO PROUD🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
My mom was born in St. Vincent 😍
I just bought this book and it is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. I plan on giving it as gifts some friends and family. I appreciate her achievement.
Was so shocked to hear her and Yee mentioned our small beautiful St Vincent and the Grenadines.The pride I feel🙌🏽🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
Angela Yee is from the Caribbean.
Love her! She's so inspiring. I definitely get Jessica's book!
She is beautiful 😍
They lied woni spotts was the first one
don't be gullible do your research it is woni spotts
I’m so happy you guys interviewed her! I will be buying her book to show support. She’s so inspiring! Traveling is something i def want to get into and this was the perfect timing. I love love love that you guys interviewed her. Ty
Heyy 😊 i love travelling too! If you are interested i host group trips and i have a couple of Girls trip happening this year. Let me know and i can send you some more details ✨️
Another good interview with Envy and Yee. Great work. They all bring something to the table.
Yes!! I've followed her for years and so excited to see her do it all. On The Breakfast Club 🔥🙌🏾💯
This is rich. I love traveling. Nice to see this sister on solo trips and making these places be beautiful in its authenticity. Good way to advocate solo vagabonds.
Very rich
I love traveling, but the Caribbean just keeps calling me 😩😂, PR, DR, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, etc. I just love it
Name checks out, Lol
Great interview ! I’ll buy the book
Bought the right after this interview & it’s worth every single penny. So inspiring!
I’m an American living in Europe and my parents always pushed me to travel. You are very expiring, please also do a film on your adventures. 👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I hope you appreciate that your parents pushed you to travel. Mine became more conservative and afraid of the world the older they got and push to stay with them or find a husband and be tied down.
Loved watching this because Senegal and Ghana are two of the first to countries in Africa I plan to visit. Covid stopped me in 2020, but inshallah I will make it!☺️
This video was amazing! Her vibes are immaculate, it makes me want to meet her in person. Representation matters, it makes me want to travel to every country.
Can't wait to order the book!
Years ago my son wanted me to buy him some Jordans and I told him you know if I have to buy you some Jordans I have to buy some for the whole family which would have totaled to about six pairs of shoes that day I told him you know what I'll make a deal with you I will take you on a cruise and show you the world and you can get you some shoes from Walmart that year I took my wife and three sons on a cruise to Jamaica and we have never stopped traveling outside of covid and my children no longer asked me for expensive materialistic items they always ask to travel the world. I feel like that has cultured my children and they have had a chance to experience some things that I never had a chance to experience and it has my children wanting to do things that I never thought of or dreamed of everyone needs to travel
I present to you, a father. *applause*
@@js7dragon THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT
Incredible interview!
Loved loved loved this interview!!! Added ur book to my Amazon cart!
Wow this what happiness and peace looks like! ✨️ Yes life liver!!!
I saw this on the news a few days ago. Cool seeing her talk about it. Definitely inspiration!
Shout out to Angeee for Saying St Vincent and the Grenadines!!! We heart you girl!!! Ah feel proud! Me chest high today 😅😅 😂😂
DEFINITELY🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨.I AM A PROUD VINCY🙌🏽👐🏾🙌🏽👐🏾
I’m a flight ✈️ attendant, can’t wait to get this book. This whole interview is dope😘😎
I’m getting a copy of her book! What a great interview.
woni spotts is the first black woman to travel everywhere do your research
This was a dope interview.
Very Cool!🙌🏾 I can’t wait to read her book!
Thanks breakfast club for this interview!
Travel is the best cure to get over racism. There are a lot of people in America that just refuse to leave this country, spend time and explore.
Miss Nabonga said something that surprised me and I'm not one to be easily surprised. She said that Mexico is a good travel destination. What??? Maybe it is...never been there.
A lot American have stockholm syndrome where the system brainwashed them thinking that we are the best country in the world. People need to educate themselves
@@mattmasteringer4399 What has Stockholm Syndrome to do with what you're saying?
@@mattmasteringer4399. C'mon Matt, what is the connection?
Traveling is a luxury, a lot of people cannot afford to travel even domestic, let alone Africa and Europe etc. The avg American gets how much time off work? We are the most overworked nation.
Awesome so parking of this beautiful woman! I really hope the TV shows works out for her as well I’d definitely tune in! 💗
I’m reading this comment it says 777.7days ago! I love that
Awesome interview
Oh I’m buying this book!
Can’t wait to order her book
"African american culture is the most exported culture in the world" she said it so joyfully and positively but this hurt to hear
This is such a enlightening conversation enjoyed it so much
So inspiring, I have to revamp my travel bucket list lol
Just over 60 countries for me..she is goals!! Love how she mentioned St. Vincent :)
That was a great interview. Thanks!
Atleast she has Kenya as one of the favorites😉
Her parents are Ugandan she's East African. Kenya is beautiful.
Ive been to 36 countries thus far and I’m addicted too it. You learn so much more about the world and you get a different perspective on life. I love it
Oh, i love this and im excited for the book and the show!
I want to see her interviewed by someone else than the BC ... sometimes they get carried away with their own personal stories and eat up time. It's very disappointing. I wanted to hear more about the guest because she's AMAZING.
I agree, I know they mean well but you have to allow your guests expound on their own experiences as well any general topic period. They might have something lying dormant in their minds or experience that could help one of us.
I agree she should've been interviewed by RUclipsr Stephanie Perry. She's very influential for black women and encourage them to live a life of ease.
I was thinking the same thing. Envy always want people to know he's got money
You know she is doing a press run right? She was on Good Morning America too
@@saramatthews7159 yes I agree Stephanie Perry would be an excellent person to interview her ❤️
That was such a great conversation ! I wasn’t sure I could litsen to 28 minutes of travel stuff but was pleasantly surprised
I love this woman, she's a beautiful person who embraces life. I was thiking we need to see her on TV so was delighted to hear a show is in the works. My experiences of travelling solo have been amazing and if possible everyone should experience it. I'm ordering her book most def.
Travel Goals! ❤️ She so dope 👏🏾👏🏾I will definitely pick up the book!
She isn’t the first Black Woman to travel to every country. Woni Spotts holds that distinction.
Yes, you are correct sir. With receipts.
Found the article so guess it boils down to the specific date this was achieved. 🤔
Man thank you so much we needed that
Power 105.1 never fact check 🤷🏾♀️🙄🙄🙄
She's the first Ugandan. That's why black Americans have to reclaim black. Nobody who doesn't call themselves black in their country should call themselves black here.
Loved this interview!!
This was a great interview!
Went to Egypt in aug 14day trip it was amazing!!! Nile river amazing red sea resort amazing Egypt is a must
Must see video
Great interview!!!
This is a fantastic interview!!!
Omg! I love her! I’m ordering the book just for inspiration as traveling the world is definitely on my bucket list! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Heyy 😊 i love travelling too! If you are interested i host group trips and i have a couple of Girls trip happening this year. Let me know and i can send you some more details ✨️
This conversation above my pay grade. I’ve only went to one country and it just happened 6 months ago, but I’m enjoying it.
You got to start somewhere. Don’t stop 🛑!!!
Heyy 😊 i love travelling too! If you are interested i host group trips and i have a couple of Girls trip happening this year. Let me know and i can send you some more details ✨️
Just grabbed both the audio annnnd the hardback!!!! Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊
Woni Spotts is the first to visit not only every country but every continent.
💯
Another banger interview guys
Woni Spotts . A Foundational Black American woman is the first black woman to travel the world 🌎
Loved this !!!
Love this interview
This a beautiful woman…… Great interview Breakfast Club
So dope!! 🤍🤍
this was beautiful
She ain’t lying about Asia. My wife and I plus her sister & bf went to Bangkok, Ayutthaya, and Kanchanaburi.
We were approached a few times to take pictures with the locals. Even one of their police departments in an area that we were in at the time wanted ti take pictures with us doing the ‘thumbs up’ gesture. Lol!
When watching this interview, it reminded me of this brother who has a RUclips channel called Passport Heavy. I enjoy watching his channel.
She's done an IG live with him before.
I Love to hear more of your story. Happy for you. Proud that a black woman travel everywhere. Love my Black Woman...God can't really leave his mama house. Happy everyone is inspiring and living their dreams. May more of y'all dream come true. May the homeless have home. Hope the less fortunate have more than the basic necessities.
God can’t really leave his mama house? What
That had me confused too 😂😂
I love to see it!
One of my favorite interviews!
I will get this sista book! She has such a good energy! I too travel alone and love my adventures and memories !
Senegal is my ♥️ too! Totally understand her obsession.
loved this!!
This is awesome! I am inspired!
She is NOT the first Black woman to travel to every country. Woni Spotts (a Foundational Black American woman) is.
Y’all really think y’all special because y’all black Americans
@@indridcole7596 well we are 😂
@@indridcole7596 not sure about that. I Do think black America just forgets about the rest of us around the world. We all the same black but they wanna be a different kinda black I guess. Still love em though 🇨🇦🇯🇲🇨🇦🖤
@@indridcole7596 Projecting. What does stating the fact that Woni Spotts is the first black woman to travel to every country with DOCUMENTED PROOF have to do with anything? We are special btw.
@@donav7825 Yet when Jamaicans do something significant it becomes "Jamaicans winning! Jamaicans do it best!" Stop gaslighting. Stop erasing ethnic boundaries to your benefit.
The Caribbean is wonderful...all the islands 🏝 are wonderful...different experiences and it definitely have something on your bucket list..from site seeing to party to beaches to festivals you name it. Go to St Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨 ..Barbados..grenada..Trinidad Antigua....St kitts...BVI...Jamaica...Bahamas...so much good places 👌
I love this 🥰 Good for you SIS ❤️
Wonderfully refreshing :)
I love traveling. I will defiantly read her book
