Diva explains how and why she created the LatinX Travel Guide for New York City, as well as the Black Guide to Havana, Cuba. She then talks about Afro-Mexican history and culture, and describes the trips she runs for travelers to experience and immerse in Afro-Mexican culture. Next, Diva gives tips on navigating anti-Blackness globally, and being in solidarity with other marginalized groups while traveling.
