Meet Diva Green — a Brooklyn-born Afro-Latina of Panamanian descent, destination storyteller, and founder of I Got Your Black, a platform connecting travelers to Afro-Indigenous communities around the world through culturally immersive experiences.

After a personal reckoning with systemic racism, grief, and disillusionment with life in the United States, Diva set out on a global journey that transformed her purpose — and her platform. Through I Got Your Black, she’s helping Black travelers move with reverence, not entitlement, and amplifying the stories of communities often erased from the mainstream travel narrative.

Also in this episode:

• How witnessing state violence pushed Diva to use travel as activism
• The six transformative months she spent living in an Afro-Mexican town
• What she learned, unlearned, and the powerful lessons she's applying to her life today
• How I Got Your Black evolved into an award-winning platform
• The emotional complexity of returning to the U.S. after years abroad
• Why she believes the Blaxit movement is powerful — but not without challenges
• How to travel and migrate mindfully without replicating patterns of gentrification or extraction
• …and so much more!
