Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!

Have you ever wondered how identity and travel intersect in the life of a queer Black individual? Join us for an engaging conversation with Tracy, a dynamic product education director and certified sex educator at COTR, Incorporated. Tracy invites us into her world, where the journey of self-acceptance and advocacy for sexual health meets the unique challenges faced by people of color while exploring new territories. From personal tales of solo travel to Las Vegas to the realities of navigating predominantly white spaces, Tracy shares the layers of discomfort and enrichment that come with stepping outside one's comfort zone.
As we unpack Tracy's extensive travels, we delve into the complexities of maintaining safety and personal boundaries while on the road. Whether it's using location-sharing features for peace of mind or tactfully explaining her profession in the adult toy industry to diverse audiences, Tracy offers her strategies for navigating life's transitions with grace and humor. We explore how the transformative power of travel can inspire BIPOC individuals to embrace their authentic selves, fostering a supportive community that respects all gender identities and sexualities.
Finally, we tackle the stress and security concerns inherent in frequent travel, especially when racial dynamics add another layer of complexity. Tracy candidly shares her experiences of feeling vulnerable yet finding solidarity among fellow travelers of color. From thoughtful discussions on racial profiling to the importance of understanding travelers' rights, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of finding safety and joy amidst diversity. Join us in this powerful narrative that aims to empower listeners to travel with confidence while celebrating their identity every step of the way.

Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.
