Why Being a “Misfit” Is Your Superpower With Wanda Duncan

Zero To Travel Podcast

Have you ever felt like you don't quite fit the mold of society's expectations? Wanda Duncan is a slow-traveling digital nomad, community manager, podcaster, and event producer. As the mastermind behind Black Women Travl, Wanda has created a community and podcast that fosters conversations, provides resources, and inspires Black women to dream big and travel far.

Wanda shares all about how and why she left her corporate job to pursue a life of travel, expert tips on community building, advice on transitioning to full-time travel, and so much more.

What are some ways that you have embraced your inner misfit? I'd love to hear about them and hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
