Romie Roberton joins Matt for a virtual glass of wine from Atlanta, Georgia, and explains the Black history, culture, and hip-hop music scene in Atlanta. She gives specific tips for visiting the city and then reflects on her experience growing up there, traveling to Germany as a kid, and the impact of going to China at age 14. Romie also shares her experience going to college in New York City, becoming a social justice advocate, teaching in Miami, and then getting her Master’s Degree at Harvard. She reflects on Harvard’s legacy of slavery and shares her journey of learning about and becoming a supporter of the Palestinian liberation struggle. Romie then talks about her trips exploring Black history in Asheville, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. She explains why she loves Japan so much, and why she has such a close connection to Jamaica. Romie then analyzes the intersectional dynamics of anti-Blackness and passport privilege. She reflects on the impact of James Baldwin and the power of viewing the racial dynamics in the U.S. from abroad. Finally, she talks about her brand “Roaming with Romie”, her work with the upcoming Black Travel Summit, and reflects on why she is still so passionate about world travel.
