VRBO + SPELMAN · EMPOWERING BLACK JOURNEYS

To celebrate this Homecoming season, we partnered Vrbo with Spelman College to facilitate a conversation where industry trailblazers shared their personal experiences, insights, and approaches for navigating travel while embracing their identity. "Empowering Black Journeys: HBCU-Connected & Host-Free," was a dynamic discussion where topics ranged from overcoming obstacles to fostering a sense of community across the globe. Panelists included 11-time NBA All-Star Allen Iverson, multi-hyphenate media personality Brandon "Jinx" Jenkins, award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi, journalist and Spelman alumna Tai Beauchamp, and Expedia employee and self-care influencer Kira West. As a Morehouse alumnus, this was the homecoming of a lifetime.
