21 DAYS UNTIL RICHMOND, VIRGINIA!

Culture Travels will visit BLK RVA on July 11

In Weekly Passport Issue #19, we announced a collaboration between Culture Travels and Visit Richmond. July 11- 15 Culture Travels will head to Richmond, Virginia for a one-week exploration of BLK RVA - a collaborative initiative between Richmond Regional Tourism (RRT) and 20+ Black community leaders. We have received our itinerary and below we’ve shared a few places to you expect to see and learn about during our visit. Check them out:

MARY LOU’S SOUL DINING EXPERIENCE

One of the restaurants we will visit is Mary Lou’s, an upscale soul food dining experience.

WALKING THE WARD TOUR WITH GARY FLOWERS

Led by community-favorite Gary L. Flowers, we will take the 20-stop walking tour of the Historic Jackson Ward, in the downtown section of Richmond, Virginia. Tours include historic educational, economic, religious, and social institutions that inspired the name "Black Wall Street", and "The Harlem of the South", and reflect the Ward's culturally historic past.

Check back next week to learn about the world’s largest night market we’ll visit, the artsy-themed hotel we’ll be staying with, and The Well Collective - a multicultural, intergenerational wellness, and apothecary we’ll visit during our stay.

A CULTURE TRAVELS PASSPORT STAMP?

Which is your favorite design?

We’re expanding our brand! For over a year now, our team has worked on the idea of developing a Culture Travels branded passport stamp to authenticate our brand products, experiences, and stories.

Over the last few months, we’ve worked with designers testing several design ideas. Below, we’ve shared a few examples, but we will announce the official design on July 11 - when we leave for BLK RVA!
