Black, Female Language and Travel Enthusiasts on YouTube pt 1
As a black (Haitian American) teenage girl who loves the idea of traveling and learning languages, it can be kind of discouraging to see a “lack” of youtube travelers that… well, look like me.
But just because there’s not as much does NOT mean they’re not there! :D
Here are 4 amazing black AND female YouTubers who I personally follow and love to watch endlessly. Every single one of their channels is different. There’s one for anything and everything you can think of, and if there’s not, I could definitely find more :D I’m confident that you’ll love watching their journeys as much as I have. So without further ado, let’s begin!
