This year has been difficult on many levels, but it is also becoming an exciting year full of possibilities and hope. What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for?<\/p>\n

We Are Travel Girls was built with the mission to create a global travel community to inspire, connect, educate and empower female travelers around the world. We have always strived for inclusivity, however the #BlackLivesMatter<\/a> movement has shown us there is still so much more we can do. Together with our community we have learned a lot in the recent weeks and spent time considering how We Are Travel Girls can step up and improve the way that we use this platform to elevate female voices of color.<\/p>\n

This is not just a moment where we share some information and then go back to what we were doing before. Now is the time to look inward, self reflect and commit to making improvements that will help bring positive change. In this Letter from the Editors, we are sharing some of the commitments we are making along with some helpful resources and information. <\/p>\n

How Will We Continue To Amplify Black Voices?<\/h2>\n

1) On Our Instagram Feed<\/h3>\n

We have always strived to create an inclusive Instagram page<\/a> that features women of all backgrounds and ethnicities. Going forward we will strive to feature more black women and women of color to ensure that all females are represented in our feed. <\/p>\n

To be featured on our page you can submit a photo here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
