Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

With pearlescent sand beaches, clear blue waters, lush green jungles, towering landscapes, vibrant culture, and world-renowned cuisine, it’s no secret that the Caribbean islands have it all. While some self-proclaimed travel snobs might rank a jaunt to islands like Jamaica, Antigua and Bahamas as ‘basic,’ those who are really about that travel life know that the Caribbean is everything but.

Easy access, affordable adventures, romantic scenery, and girl squad approved turn-ups are just a few of the reasons why Black women are queens of Caribbean travel year after year. Whether they are soaking up to the sun on the beaches of Nevis, riding horses in Turks and Caicos or living it up in Haiti, Black women love the Caribbean and from our sunkissed glow, it’s a paradise that loves us back.

So join us in taking a moment to escape the winter blues by living vicariously through these Caribbean queens letting their melanin shine in the islands.
