Black History Month is about celebrating the history and culture, and paying homage. I've found a new ritual that I am now adopting for every Black History Month. Ring the bell 13 times on the 13th hour to commemorate the 13th amendment. the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude throughout the United States, except as a punishment for a crime. This landmark amendment, the first of three Reconstruction amendments, freed over 4 million enslaved people and gave Congress the authority to enforce this abolition through legislation, marking a major turning point in American history. Black people, Black culture and Black history are to be celebrated and honored.

“Culture is forever changing and reflecting what’s happening in the society and with its people. It can be born from the arts, music, food, and sometimes politics and strife.” There is a tradition in Ghana called “Kasa” Time. Kasa is a Twi word that means Speak. This is a time when the community or family will gather and speak to one another to share history. It’s normally the elders speaking to the younger generation to keep the history and traditions alive.
We’re adopting this tradition to have a “Kasa” time of our own and speak with some of our group members who are in Ghana to have them share their experiences.

This Week on Traveling Culturati: As winter Is fast approaching, December 21st to be exact so is winter weather. For some, especially those who live in winter destinations, winter is a festive time and the weather that comes with it is embraced. For others, winter is a time to escape the cold weather, the holidays, and even those family gatherings. So, we’re exploring places to travel to escape all of the above and where to go to embrace it.

In the Culture Report; After having so much fun last week with Americanisms, Ja'Vonne is investigating what so many hate the English language. It stems from the many words that are homophones, homonyms, and words with odd spellings. For example; bow! There are two different ways to pronounce this word and four different meanings. It must be frustrating learning the English language.
On TRAVELING CULTURATI this week: The traveling duo, Gene and Ja'Vonne Harley review travel news and topics!
In the news; the Farmers Almanac's 2021/2022 winter weather prediction, most Instagrammed Unesco heritage sites, and snagging the best holiday airfares.
On Topic; best types of trips for children from 0 - college grads and the importance of exposing them to travel and the best cities around the world to relocate to.
In the Culture Report; Ja'Vonne has some fun with sayings that are only used in the USA. So if you use them you might just have a "lost in translation" moment. They are regular English words but, it's how we use them that often confuses people in other parts of the world. For example; we use ballpark when were not referring to the baseball field or the game itself. We use it to say, you're in the vicinity of a place or thing or to say you've hit it out of the ballpark is to say you've exceeded expectations.

2019 was the Year of Return: A campaign for Ghana which commemorated the 400th Anniversary of the arrival of the first recorded enslaved Africans in Jamestown Virginia in 1619. The landmark campaign also celebrated the resilience of the African over the past 400 years and welcomed all people of African origin to return to Africa especially Ghana.
Well, this is 2021, two years after “The Year of Return” so we’re looking at Ghana and its new campaign of Beyond The Return”.

In the Culture Report: “Culture is forever changing and reflecting what’s happening in the society and with its people. It can be born from the arts, music, food, and sometimes politics and strife.” I had a wonderful chat with Tia about how her passion, born from a cathartic and what she calls a life-saving experience, turned into a thriving business. “I am a proud Charleston native with a passion for the outdoors and marine life. My family has been crabbing and casting for fun and food for generations.
Crabbing has been therapeutic for me and gave me an outlet when I quit smoking, helping me become a healthier person in more ways than one.
Then, when a friend started a Facebook page called “Casual Crabbing with Tia” and posted photos of my adventures, people started asking to come along and flocking to the docks.
Within a few hours, those who start off as strangers end up as friends, and I love getting to share my passion with others.” Tia

The Culture Report – The Underground Railroad To MEXICO! “Culture is forever changing and reflecting what’s happening in the society and with its people. It can be born from the arts, music, food and sometimes politics and strife.”
Accounts of the Underground Railroad are often told of enslaved African Americans fleeing the south and heading north to freedom. But, did you know there was an Underground Railroad trail or trails that led to Mexico? My guest this week, Russell Contreras, a Justice and Race reporter at Axios covering the policies and agencies at the heart of the administration of justice and how it impacts people of color sheds some light on that very trail and how Mexico was a place the enslaved sought for freedom.
April is Jazz Appreciation Month so we’re closing out the month with Jazz Festivals, Jazz Cities and Best Jazz Spots around the world.

And, a lover of Jazz.

This week, Ja'Vonne is taking you on tour to Croatia. During my site inspection in April to Croatia, I traveled from Split to Dubrovnik and found Croatia to be a "pleasant surprise"
This young country with rich history and culture that spans centuries on the Adriatic Sea is a jewel. The clear waters, Mediterranean cuisine, authentic experiences like abandoned towns whose descendants still own, small farms and estates that produce local products like grappa, olive oil, wine, and honey, etc., old town history befitting of the Game Of Thrones. I collected some wonderful interviews on my tour from Split to Dubrovnik from the guides that showed me their towns. Journey with me this week!
While state-by-state shutdowns happened at different times, by April, travel restrictions and travel bans were in full effect around the world.
We’re reviewing these events and along with our social media audiences, we’re recalling where we were when it happened, how we were impacted, and what our travel experience has been since.

I took my first vacation and international trip at the end of January this year. On my last day as I had my last breakfast in the Maldives, I looked out into the ocean, took a deep breath, and began to cry. It was at that moment I realized how much I needed that time, that vacation, that travel experience, and how much I had missed it.
The feeling overwhelmed me and I knew at that moment how travel and the lack of it had impacted and affected my mental health.
This week I’m joined by David Levine, author of "The Hudson Valley: The First 250 Million Years" and travel writer who wrote The Many Ways Travel Is Good for Your Mental Health, and Dr. Jean Kim, a psychiatrist who has not only written about "Why Travel Is Good For Your Mental Health", in Psychology Today but certainly understands it from a clinical perspective.
Host, Ja'Vonne Harley is joined by Executive Producer, Gene Harley to revisit Travel In The Time Of COVID!
If you’re considering travel or have planned travel in the near future, get your pen and paper or notepad ready. Today we’re revisiting and updating our Traveling In The time of Covid from our show of the same title November show.
The CDC has released updated COVID guidelines with regards to vaccines.
While it’s not recommended by the CDC, travel is NOT prohibited so, Whether you should or shouldn’t is up to you. We’re providing information and resources for travel preparation, steps to take during your travels, types of travel to consider, what travel restrictions you can expect, and what to do after you travel.
There are things we learned and experienced during our travel experience that we didn't know in advance. Even after doing much research! This is why we make sure we have first-hand experience for our Advantage International clients and Traveling Culturati listeners.
Our first international trip since the pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions was to the Maldives. I like to say Ahhh... the Maldives because that's exactly how I felt during and after. It had been nearly a year since our last international trip which was February 2020.
What a difference 11 months makes. Gene and I (Ja'Vonne) are sharing our experience of traveling during the pandemic and the wonderful destination of the Maldives. Listen in and take this journey with us.
In The Culture Report
"Culture is forever changing and reflecting what’s happening in the society and with its people. It can be born from the arts, music, food, and sometimes politics and strife."
The Maldivian culture. So often the Maldives is seen as the destination for water safaris, pristine beaches, and fabulous over-the-water accommodations. Often overlooked is the rich and diverse culture of the Maldivians. Listen for the traditions, food, music, and diverse culture.
Throughout the month we’ll highlight women in travel. We’ll address their roles, those who have paved the way, and those who are charting new courses.
We’re kicking off the month with Jamie-Lee Abtar, executive Director of Women In Travel for their BAME Programe and a marketing and business development consultant with an emphasis on helping brands to engage and attract BAME/BIPOC brands and consumers.

On TRAVELING CULTURATI this week: Murals & Street Art!
Murals and street art are globally accepted forms of contemporary art. They are expressive, reflective of society and social events. At various times in history they have found their way front and center to not only the public at large but also the art world.
In the age of social media and Instagram-worthy shots, I thought it prudent to talk about this art form and its impact.
Two excellent guests join host, Ja'Vonne Harley providing a better understanding of Murals & Street Art in the art world and the impact this contemporary form of art has on society, especially as we deal with social justice and injustice.
It’s really the art imitates life and life imitates art Yin and Yang
